With warmth, humor and “real talk,” I will support you in navigating personal and inter-personal challenges, and creating an authentic life that's in integrity with your values.

My name is Abigayle. I am a queer, fat, non-binary, bi-racial therapist interested in co-creating an environment for you to explore what it means to live as your most authentic self. I believe strongly in creating a judgement-free space for you to examine long-held belief systems that have impacted how you move through the world. I tend to operate within narrative, emotion-focused, and mindfulness therapeutic approaches. My goal is to create an holistic environment where you are able to be authentically curious about where thoughts and beliefs come from in a nonjudgmental and trauma-informed way.

One of the most positive changes I have noticed in the past 35 years as a practicing clinical psychologist, is how people view therapy. Seeking treatment is now considered a sign of resourcefulness and courage. Finally, there is an awareness and appreciation for both mental and physical well-being. I work with individuals across the lifespan. I have experience treating a wide range of mental health diagnoses and am an ASSECT-certified sex therapist and member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).

Much of my work is centered around gender – from issues surrounding identity exploration, to social/medical transition, to gender dysphoria, to gender-identity-related interpersonal challenges. Some of my favorite work is in helping to bridge the communication gaps between teens and their families after a teen has come out as trans/gender nonconforming! I also have experience with depression, anxiety, substance use, military families, sexuality and sexual health, emetophobia (phobia of vomit), phase-of-life challenges, uncertainty/anxiety about the future, kink/BDSM, and partner conflict/miscommunication.

Currently taking on new clients due to now being in practice full-time! I am sassy, knowledgeable, and will be straight to the point with you. This is your time so I want you to use it the way you want. Most of my clients are in transitions, such as coming out as LGBTQIA+, having babies, or changing their relationship style (poly/ENM). I also work with clients who have religious trauma and have struggled with purity culture. I am neurodivergent-affirming and love working with neurospicy clients!

Adulting is hard, life can be difficult, and the whole thing can be overwhelming. Let's talk about it, let's yell at it, or meditate on it. All of the systems that we are a part of can impact the way we think about ourselves and our ability to connect with others. This can severely impact our mental health and our ability to heal. I am here to help you manage issues related to sexuality, severe and persistent mental illness, sense of self, trauma, loss, and life transitions. Note: I have a therapy dog that will be present for in person sessions.

Seeking change requires risk and risk requires vulnerability. Your first step toward therapeutic change involves courage. You are reaching out and that is not easy. One of my greatest honors as a therapist is being trusted to witness and participate in one’s healing journey. I believe in the importance of developing the therapeutic relationship and creating a space where you are able to be your authentic self.

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy—in other words, treating the whole person rather than fragmenting someone into parts. This approach involves meeting my clients where they’re at, focusing on the therapeutic relationship, and working together to create realistic goals. I am empathetic, direct, and keep it real while maintaining compassion. Most importantly, I believe that therapy can (and should) be fun! I pride myself in creating a therapeutic space where my clients can work on the hard stuff, but also take space to laugh and just be human.
