In addition to working with individuals, Abby does family and group work. Abby has both led and co-led DBT skills training classes since 2019, both at Wise Mind Collective and at Focus Treatment Center, on the eating disorder unit (2019 - 2020), where she also led process groups. Abby especially enjoys working with adolescents and college-aged students who are experiencing eating disorder symptoms.
Abby empowers her clients to create a future in which they feel safe, strong and resilient, a future where they can realize their goals and then some. Abby’s belief that each person is unique and deserving of life is at the heart of her therapeutic process, and she is known to “hold hope” for her clients, even when they feel like they themselves can’t.
