Empower Growth and Conquer Burnout

I’m Abbey, Therapist & Life Coach in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and beyond.

Take the first step to therapy and life coaching in NJ & Philadelphia

You don’t feel like yourself. You worry about the past or future. You feel sad and unmotivated. You experienced trauma. You want to make some life changes. Your relationships are struggling. You feel lost or confused. You are no longer on the path you wanted to be on.

If so, you already took the first step by coming to this page. And I am proud of you for taking the first step!   

Together you and I will work to rebuild and enrich your life by processing an event or memory, reflect and retrain thinking patterns that make you feel trapped, and build individualized skills that are unique for your experiences. All these strategies are based on tried and true foundational skills that will help you progress to reach your true potential in life, relationships, and career.

Take a moment to imagine how much better you could feel in the near future by starting this path with me. Through support, respect, unconditional positive regard (which is when the life coach provides acceptance and support no matter what you say or do) and motivation, we will break through what has been limiting your beliefs and thoughts and make plans to rebuild. Along this path of self-actualization, you will begin to feel ease and confidence to become the best version of yourself and develop deep, meaningful relationships.

“I have fears and doubts”, you say.  Yes, that may have always been the case or you have been derailed in the past due to unexpected loss, change or trauma. Life plans aren’t always a direct line or a well-lit path. Sometimes they are a dark tunnel, but I’m help lead you through. Healing is not an ending, but a new beginning. Now let's start that new beginning!

Motherhood Communities

Being a mom has many challenges and you do not need to experience these alone. If you are finding your circles are not giving you what you need, come give one or both of the mom communities I created a try. The Ambitious Mamas Collective will meet the needs of the moms who are powerhouses in both their careers and at home but want to feel nurtured and have the energy to do both. The Tired Mom Meet Up is for any mom who feels stuck, over committed, run down, or searching for more meaning.

My Story

People are always curious about how I chose the profession of psychotherapy and life coach. Honestly, I think it chose me.  From an early age, I was curious why people acted the way they did or were the way they were. I could sense how someone was feeling or what they needed without them saying anything. Now, I like to think of it as my superpower.

What Clients Are Saying

“From my first appointment with Abbey, I immediately felt a level of comfortability. Abbey always gives me 100% of her time and attention, and I thank her for her patience with me while I navigate my way through my anxiety, stress and insecurities. She always tells me exactly what I need to hear instead of what I want to hear, and is never afraid to tell me i’m doing something wrong. Abbey always provides me with solutions that help me become the best version of myself. I would definitely not be the person I am today without her guidance.”

“Thought I’d take a couple minutes to thank you for listening. And not just for me but for all the people who may or may not realize just how special and comfortable you make them (us) feel!!! You have a gift...it’s a gift not all possess!!! There are no coincidences in my life and I am grateful to have you in mine...so....I thank you for the gift of ‘you’.

“Therapy with Abbey has helped me so much over the years. In the very beginning, I was hesitant about therapy in general. However, she worked with me and over time, I began to open up more. Now, I can’t imagine what my life would’ve been like if I never started therapy with Abbey. I would recommend working with her to anyone seeking counseling.”
