Parenting. partnership. personhood.
As a coach, I create and hold space for my clients. To land. To pause and take stock. To set down the loads they carry. To unpack points of tension and navigate the narrows. To decouple the fears, fantasies, projections, and illusions - about themselves, their partners and their parenting - from the facts, the reality, the truth, their truth - about who they are, where they are, and what matters to them. To unburden their protectors and free their exiles. To scrap the stuck scripts and maladaptive strategies that no longer serve them. To make room for their dreams and desires. To ask the questions and compel the action that moves them in the direction of what they want most and where they feel most free.
Coaching offers clients a tangible reminder that we find our way in the world through both opposition and resonance. We may not be able to solve for uncertainty, but we can invest in our ability to withstand and stand with it. My coaching practice is built on the belief that my clients are creative, resourceful, and whole. As a coach, I help people to see themselves and one another through that same lens.
“I came to Abby for help with a big life transition, seeking extra support to make and follow through on a tough decision. Through coaching, we opened space for me to see beyond this decision and into all that I was craving – as a woman, mother, partner, daughter, and professional.
Abby asked the questions I have been waiting my whole life to be asked, about who I am and how that person wants to move in the world. Her humor, deep listening, and wisdom always assured me that I’d leave our sessions more equipped and focused on what mattered to me. Abby secured me to my own knowing, my own inner captain.
Now, this sense that I’m driving my own ship grounds me; I navigate the calm and choppy parts of life with the same awareness of who I am and what I want.
I’m tempted to say that I left my work with Abby as a different person, but she actually helped me become more myself.
Working with Abby is transformative, but it is also deeply integrating work that honors all we’re made of and how we might use those makings to be the full, capable, and radical people we are. As an educator, I know that teachers can have a profound impact in student’s lives, and I count Abby as one of my greatest teachers.

WHO I COACH
I help parents, partners and people get clear on what matters to them and clear out what gets in the way.
I hold and co-create space for individuals and teams (partners, co-parents, parent-child, grandparents, home-school, and wraparound supports) to identify and honor needs, name and audit values, set and meet goals, design and implement systems, cultivate and concretize alignment, and discover a deep understanding of and connectedness to themselves and one another.
HOW IT WORKS
Sessions occur three times a month and are conducted over the telephone or via video.
Prospective clients can reach out via email or phone to book a complimentary 30-minute introductory call.
I offer a variety of coaching configurations (individual & family) and engagements (3 & 6 month).
