you’re not A problem to be Fixed, you’re somebody to be experienced.
Hi, I’m Abigail, and I’m so glad you’re here! An attachment therapist, my passion is to help you repair relational damage with yourself and your partner after grief or trauma. It’s my life’s work to a space where it’s safe to show curiosity towards the parts of yourself that keep you stuck and my deepest passion to help you achieve deeper inner transformation.
What if the parts of yourself that you’re most ashamed of are actually just patterns of survival? And what if they could become a pathway to purpose instead of more pain?
What to expect from Attachment Therapy
-As counseling begins, I will work with you to develop insight into the patterns and cycles that your/your partner’s emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations operate in and explore coping skills to manage them effectively.
-As you gain stabilization in your relationship with yourself/your partner, you can begin exercising curiosity the roots of these cycles and how grief, loss, and trauma impacted your or your partner’s sense of self and values.
-With safety building, you can repair trust in yourself or your partner by reprocessing memories and belief systems, practicing nervous system regulation, and developing an understanding of your attachment needs and how to meet them
Take the Next Step

Going to therapy is a courageous choice that showcases your resilience. It’s invaluable if you want to:
-Reprocess painful experiences
-Gain traction towards a specific goal
-Explore your thoughts/feelings with an objective sounding board
-Clarify your sense of self
-Understand your values and purpose.
It can be especially helpful if you’re struggling with a persistent issue that keeps negatively interfering with your life (for example, anxiety, high reactivity, overthinking, uncontrollable anger, etc.). Another indicator that you might benefit from it is if you want to get to the root of a persistent problem and are not sure how to do that by yourself or have tried before without success.

Yes. Your right to privacy is the most important ethical guideline I can abide by as your therapist and is my highest priority. In our first session I will go over state mandated exceptions to confidentiality (including immediate danger to yourself or someone else or child/elderly abuse) and make sure to address any concerns or answer any questions you have.

50 minute individual sessions are $160 and 50 minute couples sessions are $175.
80 minute sessions are available upon request and are priced at $220 for individuals and $250 for couples.

I am an out-of-network provider, so payment for sessions is direct and due at the time of service. This allows you more confidentiality and freedom of choice in your sessions. Specifically, it avoids both a mental health diagnosis going on your permanent record AND insurance companies having access to your confidential records.
However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t use your benefits. Some insurance plans reimburse out-of-network mental health appointment between 50% - 80% of the session cost - the rate of repayment is unique to your plan. I work with a service called Thrizer that utilizes a benefits calculator to help you instantly determine your out-of-network coverage. If you have benefits, I will automatically provide you with a superbill which is essentially a detailed receipt for services that contains all the information your insurance needs to reimburse you for appointments.

You can access my calendar directly by clicking the “book a free consult” button below and scheduling yourself a free consultation. The consultation is a free 15 minute phone call to determine if I am a good fit for your needs. It’s a great time to get to know me and how I work, ask any questions you have, and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward in scheduling. At the end of the intake, if we both feel that it’s a good fit, we will schedule your first session and I will provide you with a link to your client portal where you can see your schedule and access your intake paperwork.

My practice was built from the desire to address forms of trauma that aren’t addressed in both the broader culture and mental health culture specifically. Grief from divorce and deconstruction, abuse within families, and betrayal by religious circles are so often shrouded by silence and that makes recovery more lonely than it needs to be. At Attachment Lab, the mission is to give you the space to feel heard in a story that often gets misunderstood and to get real, practical help in processing your experiences. I am a survivor of much of what I treat and my lived empathy puts me in a unique position as a therapist to truly understood where you’re coming from rather than relying solely on theory. I have been (and still attend!) my own therapy and my goal is to empower you in the same way I would want to be as a client.
