Hello! I'm Abby. My counseling experience includes providing individual and group counseling for clients with depressive and/or anxious symptoms due to past trauma or current stressful situations and relationships. I enjoy working with individuals who seek ways to feel safe in their bodies and be empowered in their personal and professional relationships. My client focus includes adults and adolescents, LGTBQ+ identity related issues, mood disorders, substance use, developmental trauma, sexual trauma, polyamory, and kink relationships. I use an evidenced-based practice called Emotion-Focused Therapy that is humanistic, strength-focused, person-centered and experiential. I see the client as the expert of their lives and my role is to be a compassionate guide to help them process their negative experiences to find more adaptive ways of connecting to others and find meaning in their story. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns you have about us working together. I look forward to learning about how I can best support you on your personal journey toward growth. I currently see individuals and co-facilitate a Women's Trauma group.

Often times throughout life we find ourselves feeling disconnected. This can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, untethered and lost without any sense of direction. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients as they navigate and discover the path to their most authentic self. I strive to provide a safe space where clients feel comfortable in exploring their past, rewriting personal narratives, and forging an understanding of self that enables living presently. Together we'll discover your strengths, while exploring areas that crave nurturing and healing. My passions include working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life changes, and relationship difficulties. I tailor my therapy approach to the unique needs of my clients and believe in a collaborative approach to healing that also incorporates mindfulness. I provide a space where clients feel supported as they identify desired areas of change.
You and your partner are struggling to communicate. The emotional intimacy has lost its spark and physical connection is fading. We aren't connecting and the stress is high. You want to heal together instead of growing apart. You want to be a better partner! You need to shake up how you talk to each other in order to make this to work; there is so much at stake to maintain the relationship you've built. There is so much you want to share with your partner, and you need help learning how to engage again. You can learn how to be vulnerable with one another by increasing your communication skills and learning how to listen again. You are looking for a perspective that will challenge and push you to grow. I provide education on communicating more effectively with others and help you set boundaries with them so that you can live life on your terms. I teach skills to increase your insight into your emotions. I support you in finding solutions to take and make changes with. I welcome you to connect with me and learn how to access your inner strengths. You can have the life, love, and relationships you desire through support, communication skills, and healing.

It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who once said that, "What lies behind us and what lies before us matters little compared to what lies within us". For more than 30 years I have focused on helping children and adults, individually, in couples, in families and groups achieve strength, peace and confidence by improving conflict resolution, communication, stress and anxiety, anger management skills, child and adolescent behavioral problems, and parenting skills as well as improved functioning and decreased emotional distress related to depression, self-esteem, post-traumatic stress and bipolar disorders. Through a combination of interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral and motivational approaches I have seen my clients make meaningful and lasting transformations in both emotional and behavioral dimensions. I provide evidence-based, focused, and time-limited treatment with documented results for mental health, behavioral health and substance use issues. In addition to general mental health counseling, I have specialized in the area of domestic violence with both perpetrators and survivors of violence since 1980. I offer services for abusive men through the Alternatives and Treatment for Abusive Men Program and counseling for survivors at the Midwest Domestic Violence Resource Center. I am fluent in Spanish and provide psychotherapy in Spanish and English. I provide consultation, training and expert witness services includes work with private and public agencies and professionals working with domestic violence, workplace violence, corporate communication and anger management-fitness for duty issues. I have conducted training programs nationally and internationally.

Here is how I help: I offer grounded and compassionate therapy that is open, present, and realistic. You will be understood and accepted as you are so we can work toward resolving the problems that stand in your way, whether they are challenges you want to face on your own, or relationship issues you want to resolve with your partner or family. With couples, Meshel Langford is my co-therapist. Having both of us provides balance, perspective, and support (please see our website, linked on this page). I work with couples, families, and individuals, specializing in individual therapy with men, and relationship therapy. I also offer EMDR, a type of therapy which helps the brain reprocess trauma and other distress. I am co-authoring a graduate text for the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Edgewood College. I have witnessed the deepest wounds become places of wisdom and strength, and the belief in love and hope become stronger than anything that opposes them. Both couple and individual therapy can help accomplish that, and can help you discover your life as you want it to be.

Are you feeling like you're stuck in a rut? Maybe the holiday season isn't bringing you as much joy as you hoped, or perhaps you're feeling that you've lost yourself in trying to please those around you. Our relationships with ourselves and others have a direct impact on our overall mental health and wellbeing, and it's hard to feel like our best selves when we are overwhelmed and exhausted. These feelings are especially common this time of year - days are short, stress is high, and to do lists are long. If you're feeling burnt out and looking for a recharge, I'd love to help you work through this process. I work with clients to identify patterns in their lives and relationships that keep them feeling stuck and work collaboratively to shift these in a healthier direction. It is my belief that when we care for ourselves, we are better able to care for others and have relationships that better meet our needs. If you are seeking compassion, validation, and even humor in your therapy journey, please, feel free to reach out. I would be honored to be a part of your journey towards a healthier life and more fulfilling relationships that you deserve.

Chocolate, snowboarding, and shopping can be therapeutic, but sometimes they're not enough. I see teenagers, adults, and families when struggles get in the way of fun and suffering becomes too familiar. Friends and family hopefully are there when we need them, yet therapists can provide additional essentials: nonjudgmental, individual attention in a safe setting. Relationships are central to our well-being, and the therapy process involves building a relationship. Clients lead, and I listen to your goals and help you to identify unhealthy patterns, reduce negative self-talk, and learn more about how you view yourself and the world. I have significant experience working with clients who have a wide range of concerns including sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, family difficulties, peer problems, self-injurious behaviors, grief and loss, and adjustment and life transitions. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I see our relationships as part of a system. Patterns and behaviors emerge that sometimes need adjusting. One person changes in one way and the whole family or relationship can change. I’m here to help individuals, couples and families identify patterns that no longer serve them and find new ones that do. View 6 Photos I find immense healing in being outdoors and using my training as a yoga instructor. I am a trauma-informed strengths-based therapist with experiences in grief, adoption and special needs parenting. From those experiences, I bring a mixture of calm and warmth with a little bit of humor into the therapy space. Having someone with you to guide and support as you untangle life's challenges can make all the difference. I’m here to stand alongside you to find new solutions and write new stories for your present and future.

The emphasis of my clinical work is in pediatric assessments including neuropsychological evaluations. I specialize in providing individually-tailored, extensive examinations of symptoms, development, and functioning in order to better understand each child or adolescent. Thus, the goal is not to arrive at a standardized diagnosis, but to achieve a deeper insight into each person's distinct biopsychosocial makeup. The most enjoyable aspect of assessment work is being able to provide children and families with clarifying "ah ha" moments, in order to help them make better sense and successes of their lives. My training and experience includes Autism-specific diagnostic testing, socioemotional developmental assessments, as well as psychiatric and treatment evaluations primarily among children and adolescents. The emphasis of my clinical work is to promote enhanced neuropsychological functioning and well-being throughout the lifespan. I believe in a world where every individual has a unique contribution to offer. Often times we need help in discovering our strengths. My mission is to help in the discovery, understanding and/or enhancement of these talents. I do this by providing in-depth, individualized evaluations and treatments to care for the whole person.

Do you sense that you are "just getting by" in life? Do you feel weighed down by a sadness, restricted by anxieties, or just a sense of detachment and numbness? Are you concerned about a relationship or lack thereof? Or perhaps there are old, unattended wounds still hurting from long-ago. Eastern philosophies remind us that suffering is universal, but not necessary, and that it emerges from a disconnection from our essential nature. Therapy with me uses mindfulness practices and trauma-informed therapy (EMDR) to reconnect with that nature and inquire into the barriers that resist such connection to ourselves and others. My practice assumes your inherent completeness: that your true nature is love, peace, strength, power, clarity and more. Our work is to thaw those places in yourself that, with the intent of protection, are keeping you from realizing this completeness. My approach is informed by enlightenment/mindfulness studies, depth therapies, and EMDR. If talking with someone who does not view your concerns as evidence of a "mental health disorder", "symptom," or as some type of character flaw is appealing to you, please contact me. I'm available to answer your questions via e-mail or over the phone. Located on the East side of Madison on Monona Dr. Next possible new appointment after 01/08/2024.

I believe that our minds, bodies, emotions, and relationships all exist interdependently. When one part of the system fails to thrive, our whole way of being can be put off balance. When we are able to explore these imbalances within the safe space of a trusting, authentic therapeutic relationship, our innate movement towards ease and wellness can be restored. In my counseling work I weave Western psychology, Eastern philosophy, and holistic mindfulness and movement practices together to help you access your inner wisdom and innate healing potential. Most importantly, we'll work together to create a space where your whole self--mind, body, heart, and spirit--feels safe so you can engage with your changing moment-to-moment experience, explore your limiting thought and behavior patterns, and heal emotional wounds. Additionally, I am a Level II certified EMDR therapist. Counseling isn't just for people who are struggling in their lives. You may also want to start planning a new life path, discover your personal strengths, or gain new insights from past experiences. Whether your goal is to feel less anxious, become "un-stuck" from limiting patterns, improve your relationships, or heal past trauma, I'd love to explore how we can work together to start you on the path to ease and wellness.

"What brings you to therapy?" is a classic first question from therapists during an initial meeting. And while we as people share many commonalities, each person has their unique personal story, and we want our concerns to be addressed with respect, insight and understanding, and inviolate trust. I am guessing that you have questions you want answered about yourself, your relationships, your situation, and your history and the patterns of your life . And, you want relief, insight, and clarification of the choices and potential outcomes you face, with effective tools, skills, and strategies to make positive changes in your life. I am fortunate to have a long, positive career in assisting individuals and their loved ones with problems of life. My areas of expertise include the treatment of anxiety and depressive symptoms, which include a wide array of patterns of symptoms. levels of severity, stressors, personal histories, self-esteem and confidence, bereavements, and trauma. I truly understand how hard things can be. Our work in therapy will help your emotions and behaviors, and could address immediate coping skills, or understanding your past experiences and patterns that affect your feelings and reactions.
