Hi, I’m Abby

If you’ve found your way here, you may be feeling weighed down by anxiety, painful experiences, or patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you’ve noticed that the past continues to shape your present through self-doubt, perfectionism, feeling on edge, or a harsh inner critic. You may appear to have it all together while privately wondering why it never quite feels like enough.

Whatever has brought you, I’m glad you’re here. I recognize how difficult it can be to ask for help. At The Expansive Mind, you can step away from the expectations you’ve been carrying and show up as your most authentic self.

I specialize in helping high-achieving adults heal from trauma, ease anxiety, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I’m trained in EMDR, which we can use to process difficult experiences and reshape your relationship with the past.

Together, we’ll explore the beliefs and patterns that may be keeping you stuck and create space for new ways of understanding yourself and what’s possible for your life. We’ll turn insight into meaningful change. Your past does not have to define you. Your thoughts aren’t always true. And your story can be rewritten.

I hope to talk to you soon.

“I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me.”
