Abby specializes in working with adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, ADHD, and PTSD. Her goal is to create a compassionate, validating space where clients can explore their emotions and challenges. Many of her clients struggle with intense feelings, impulsivity, suicidality, or behaviors they wish to change in order to lead a more fulfilling and authentic life. To support these goals, she uses evidence-based approaches like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  

Abby also works with clients on exploring their identity, spiritual growth, and personal values—especially those undergoing significant life transitions, with a particular focus on younger adults. She warmly and proudly welcomes LGBTQIA+ clients and is committed to providing empowering, validating gender-affirming care. During her clinical internship, she co-developed an LGBTQIA+ group therapy program for college students, and she currently co-leads our LGBTQIA+ DBT skills group. Her approach is warm, flexible, and nonjudgmental, and she is genuinely curious about her clients’ experiences, which helps her offer tailored, collaborative care.  

Abby earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University, where she researched the role of spirituality in mental health. She has received intensive training in CBT and DBT at Columbia, Yale New Haven Hospital, and Zucker Hillside Hospital. Outside of her work as a therapist, she enjoys hiking, diving into science fiction, and being a serial hobbyist, always exploring new interests and activities.
