Hi, I'm abbie.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. I completed my undergraduate studies at Ursinus College before earning my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gwynedd Mercy University.

About Me

Life is full of ups and downs, unexpected challenges, and experiences that shape who we are. My goal as a therapist is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can navigate life's challenges, better understand yourself, and work toward becoming the person you want to be.

I understand that opening up to someone new isn't always easy. Having experienced therapy myself, I recognize the vulnerability that comes with sharing your story. I strive to meet you wherever you are in life, offering a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and genuinely supported.

I bring an approachable, bubbly, and nurturing personality into my work, while also recognizing that growth sometimes requires being challenged. I won't simply tell you what you want to hear. Instead, I'll work alongside you to explore different perspectives, challenge unhelpful patterns, and find meaningful ways to move forward at your own pace.

Outside of my work as a therapist, sports have always been a big part of who I am. From childhood through college, I was actively involved in athletics, eventually playing field hockey at the collegiate level. My experiences both on and off the field have shaped not only who I am today, but also my passion for helping athletes navigate the unique pressures of competitive sports. I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults experiencing performance anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, self-doubt, and the pressure to succeed. I also understand how important it is to develop a sense of identity and self-worth beyond athletics.

Whether you're an athlete struggling with the pressures of competition or someone simply trying to navigate life's challenges, I'm here to help you find your voice, build confidence, and move forward in a way that feels true to who you are and what matters most to you.

Therapeutic Approach

Therapy should be a place to be yourself, met with warmth, understanding, and honesty. I blend genuine connection with gentle challenge to help you find strengths, voice, and make meaningful changes aligned with what matters to you.

Humanistic

Our therapy sessions will focus on self-discovery, personal growth, and embracing your unique experiences, emphasizing your strengths, values, and capacity for meaningful change within a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment.

Strengths-Based

Together, we'll identify and build upon your existing strengths, develop confidence, and explore tools to navigate life's challenges while fostering resilience and personal growth.

Values-Driven

By exploring what matters most to you, we'll work toward aligning your thoughts, behaviors, and choices with your personal values to create meaningful change and a more fulfilling life.

Areas of Specialty

  • anxiety

    Anxiety Disorders

    I have experience supporting teens and adults navigating anxiety, panic disorders, and overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Through a warm, collaborative approach, I can help clients better understand their anxiety, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical coping skills to feel more confident and in control of their daily lives.

  • Sports & Performance Anxiety

    As a former collegiate athlete, I understand the unique pressures that come with competitive sports. I have experience supporting teens and young adults navigating performance anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, self-doubt, and the pressure to succeed. Drawing from my personal and clinical experiences, I help athletes build confidence, manage expectations, and develop a stronger sense of identity both on and off the field.

  • addiction

    Addiction & Substance Use

    I have experience supporting teens and adults navigating substance use disorders and the challenges that come with addiction and recovery. Through a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach, I help clients explore underlying patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build confidence in making meaningful, lasting changes that align with their personal values and goals.

  • trauma

    Trauma & PTSD

    I know that difficult experiences can stay with us long after they've happened, affecting how we feel about ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. You don't have to make sense of everything on your own. I'm here to offer a safe, understanding space where you can share your story at your own pace, feel supported through the harder moments, and begin finding a sense of comfort, trust, and healing.

  • Depression & Mood Concerns

    Sometimes, just getting through the day can feel exhausting, especially when you're feeling disconnected from yourself or the things you once enjoyed. I want therapy to be a place where you can show up exactly as you are, even on the hard days. Together, we'll explore what's been weighing on you, find ways to make everyday life feel a little more manageable, and help you reconnect with yourself and what matters most to you.

Let’s see if we’re a good fit.
