I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and other severe and persistent mental health conditions. I also work with clients facing family dynamics, relationship concerns, identity development, and major life transitions. I take a client-centered approach that emphasizes compassion, resilience, and meaningful personal growth.

I earned my master’s degree in mental health counseling from Monmouth University. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, and I utilize evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and motivational interviewing, alongside reflective and exploratory therapeutic work.

Together, we will clarify your values, identify your goals, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. You do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone, and I am here to support you on your healing journey.

Abe completed his master's degree in Counseling at St. Edward's University, where he earned a 3.7 GPA and spent an extra semester taking courses in marriage and family therapy. In postgraduate training like the Gottman method, Abe found what some couples do that makes them thrive. There are things that help with a partner, but they also help with our parents, our jobs, and our friends. Abe uses motivational interviewing in a client-centered way, empowering people to change the narrative and find an existential purpose for what they do and using the tools of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to get around the obstacles where people feel stuck.

Abe works with a lot of good-hearted people. They're compassionate and want to do good in the world and to help people they love. Caring people can be taken for granted, taken advantage of, and even hurt and used. They can be left feeling empty, unfulfilled, and unloved. But with the right mindset, boundaries, and self-care, they can be respected, appreciated, and live a life that they're proud of. Abe helps people care for others and in turn, care for themselves. With therapy, people can troubleshoot their troubles in jobs and relationships. Everyone has more options than they realize.
