Therapy Practice

Trauma-Informed Therapy Throughout California

Because you don’t need therapy, you deserve therapy

Hi, I’m Abby

I’m so 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. I founded The Expansive Mind to provide a safe space in which you can show up as your most authentic self, without fear of judgment. Treatment will be individualized to meet your specific needs and empower you to make real change, because I believe it’s possible.

I specialize in treating trauma and PTSD, supporting major life transitions, managing anxiety, and building feelings of self-worth. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which we can utilize to reshape your relationship with the past.

An expansive mind allows you to move beyond your immediate personal context and look at things from different perspectives and possibilities. Together we can 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.”
