Hello, hi, I’m Abigail, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Austin, Texas, providing developmentally attuned, trauma-informed therapy for all ages, especially children, adolescents, young adults, who are navigating grief, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, and life transitions. I offer a steady, compassionate space where clients feel safe enough to explore hard feelings and supported enough to grow.

I work from the belief that children and teens communicate what they need through play, behavior, and relationship, not just words. My approach integrates child-centered play therapy, relational talk therapy, art and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients better understand themselves, build coping skills, and feel more connected to themselves as well as the people who care about them.

I especially enjoy supporting:

• Children and teens experiencing anxiety, grief, or big emotional shifts

• Young adults navigating career direction and adjusting to adulthood with authenticity and emotional balance

• Creatives seeking more confidence and resilience with being seen on stage or sharing their artwork

• Parents seeking guidance on how to maintain calm while supporting their child’s emotional world with confidence and compassion

• Tweens navigating social pressures, identity and developing a positive self-esteem. 

When working with younger clients, I value collaboration with parents and caregivers, offering insight, reflection, and practical tools to support connection and consistency outside of sessions. Therapy is most effective when the adults around a child feel supported too. With adult clients, I help you explore somatic, meditative, and breath-work practices to empower you with mindfulness tools.

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University and have experience supporting clients across a range of developmental stages and presenting concerns. I approach therapy with curiosity, gentle humor and warmth, and respect for each person’s unique pace and process.

Originally from Boston, I’ve lived in Austin since 2015. Outside the therapy room, you can find me in nature, exploring a crystal shop, or enjoying live music with my partner.

​

I am currently licensed in Texas (in-person Austin) and Massachusetts (virtual) and accepting new clients.
