​​​Adolescence is a powerful and often complex season of life—full of growth, big emotions, shifting relationships, and questions about identity, purpose, and belonging. It can be overwhelming for teens to navigate this terrain alone, and challenging for parents to know how to best support them.
​​
My work with teens is centered around supportive, one-on-one conversations that encourage insight, emotional awareness, and personal growth. I draw from Western psychological tools and mindfulness practices to meet each teen where they are.
​
The specific tools or approaches I use are adapted to fit the individual—taking into account their age, comfort level, readiness, and developmental stage. While some teens may benefit from light meditation or guided inner reflection, others may prefer grounded, practical conversations. My approach honors not just the mental and emotional aspects of a teen’s experience, but also the deeper questions of identity, meaning, belonging, and inner truth.
​
At the heart of this work is relationship building—creating a safe, trusting connection where teens feel seen, heard, and supported. From that foundation, we explore the issues they’re facing: anxiety, depression, self-worth, family or peer conflict, emotional overwhelm, decision-making, and anything else that feels hard to hold alone. The goal of our work is to help teens better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges with more confidence and clarity, strengthen their inner compass, and foster a deeper sense of connection to themselves and others.
​
This is not about fixing or forcing—it’s about gently guiding teens back to the wisdom that already lives within them, ​laying the foundation for long-term well-being and self-trust.

“Abby is a wonderful counselor who has allowed me to learn more about myself and my patterns. She is an attentive and patient listener who has offered me a variety of tools that have helped me work through events in my life. What’s been most profound in our work together has been the work done through hypnotherapy. This process has been transformative and has introduced me to alternative perspectives when identifying certain areas of stress in my life.”
