Abigail ist the most kind and understanding person I've ever met. She is a superb listener and always asks the right questions. She really understands trauma, abuse and narcissism and I have made great progress in therapy and life thanks to her.

I love working with Abigail- she is kind and thoughtful but asks very good questions right when you need to think about something, which is something that you might be trying to avoid. :)
She has compassion and empathy and circles back to wanting the best outcome for you as a person. I highly recommend scheduling sessions with Abigail!
