Hi, I’m Abby

Welcome. If you've found your way here, you may be feeling weighed down by anxiety, painful experiences, or patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe 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 struggling to feel enough.

Whatever has brought you, I'm glad you're here. I recognize how difficult it can be to ask for help, so congrats on taking this first, brave step towards feeling better.

The Expansive Mind was created to provide a safe space in which you can show up as your most authentic self, without fear of judgment. I specialize in helping adults resolve trauma, reduce anxiety, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I am trained in EMDR which we can utilize to reshape your relationship with the past.

Together we’ll identify and replace the unhelpful, unkind, untrue beliefs that act as a barrier between where you are now and where you want to be. Our past does not have to define us, our thoughts aren't always true, and our story can be re-written. 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.”
