Abby finds joy working with children ages 5-105. Children are special and the work with children with trauma ages 5-18 is my specialty.

First, I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I focus on creating an emotionally safe place. Safe enough to be vulnerable and lean into discomfort. Safe enough to create change that may be desired or needed. My style is direct, compassionate, and caring. When appropriate, I use humor, transparency, and my own quirky personality to help create a safe environment and vulnerability. It is the balance of being client-centered (meeting clients where they’re at) and encouraging change (which sometimes includes calling out BS or respectfully challenging when needed). Im currently offering in-person and telehealth.

It takes time to pick up the pieces. Parts of you may feel broken, paralyzed, and unheard. With intergenerational systems of dysfunction, very few of us grew up with anything approaching healthy relating. As mammals, we can use the natural force towards connection along with regulating our autonomic fitness to return to our joyful and intuitive self. I can help adults and teens create movement in the isolated "stuck places" and integrate unprocessed pain and suffering. I am passionate about serving children who also highly benefit from therapy by communicating their inner world through play.

As the founder of Thrive Counseling Services, I'm passionate about empowering individuals to overcome challenges and lead fulfilling lives. With over 17 years of experience in mental health counseling, I've seen firsthand the transformative power of compassionate, evidence-based therapy. At Thrive, we create a warm, judgment-free environment where clients feel safe exploring their thoughts and emotions. Our team of skilled therapists specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. We blend proven therapeutic techniques with a personalized approach to help each client reach their unique goals.

Sometimes, life presents us with painful experiences that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. These unresolved and unhealed wounds can hinder our ability to move forward and live an empowered life. In therapy, my goal is to provide you with a safe space to examine and remove unhelpful patterns from your past, and allow for transformational healing to occur. I incorporate what I have learned from my experience as a clinician at multiple residential eating disorder treatment centers as well as a residential PTSD/trauma treatment center.

As a trauma-focused therapist and healer I work from a holistic approach to integrate mind, body and spirit with my clients. I believe that we are all living out of our perspective of our story and with each new day comes the opportunity to understand and develop that story more. I deeply understand the need for attachment with ourselves and others, so I consider it an honor to walk alongside my clients and help them gain insight into their stories. I work with adults, children, teens and couples to help them with a variety of issues based on trust and connection.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my desire is to partner with clients to help them find hope and healing. Using evidenced-based treatments, I strive to be a light in the lives of my clients and provide them with insights and tools that will help them to accomplish their goals. While the specific therapeutic approaches are important, the unique relationship between client and counselor is a major factor in the healing process. It is important to counsel the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.

Hi there, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your healing journey. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Arizona, with experience implementing the mind body connection as it relates to trauma. I implement Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems Parts work, EMDR and Motivational Interviewing. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and enjoy teaching and practicing DBT skills in sessions. As a psychotherapist, I’ve learned pain can be released, trauma can be resolved and healing is your birthright.

Throughout my life I searched for ways to use empathy to empower and show others that there is hope even when it feels like there could never be. Purely seeking therapy is empowering and instills hope for our future. Although this work can be difficult, there is a reward. I approach counseling through a systemic and holistic framework. I believe every individual and their needs and goals are unique and completely original. Utilizing a mixture of therapeutic approaches, I aim towards creating an empowering space to meet you where you're at. My goal is to support and empower you through healing, self-exploration and expression.

Using a straight forward, respectful, non-blaming approach to counseling, my specialities include OCD, recovery from narcissistic abuse, life transitions, sexuality, grief/loss, co-dependency, self esteem, body image, gender expression, anxiety, depression, codependency recovery, and family of origin issues. I will often utilize journaling, narrative therapies, EMDR, grounding and somatic techniques, mindfulness, archetypes, meditation, art, and Internal Family Systems into our sessions.

Are you experiencing overwhelming emotions, anxious thoughts, or feelings of hopelessness? Do you want to live a more fulfilling life but don't know where to start? Are you looking for someone to accompany you on your journey of healing and restoration? I am here to help. I believe that we are all searching for meaning and purpose in our lives. One of the ways we can find this is by connecting with others. In life, it can be easy to get stuck in the darkness. To rely on oneself, and oneself alone. I want to help bring your life into the light. To help you find fullness and meaning by exploring what makes you, you!

I view counseling as an opportunity to partner with my clients on their journey towards positive change and achievement of emotional/mental health. In my practice I enjoy working with adults individually. I specialize in trauma treatment and engage Prolonged exposure which has successfully alleviated trauma symptoms for many of my clients. I also utilize interpersonal family systems, and attachment theory in order to help clients learn more about themselves than they ever have. We will create skills and process together, to alleviate any disrupting symptoms of depression and anxiety. I am offering in person and virtual sessions.
