Hope for Healing
At times, life presents us with challenges we never anticipated such as the sudden loss of a family member, a crisis of faith, a move or a divorce. Others also face difficulties that stem from childhood abuse, unhealthy relationships with parents, and family dysfunction that spans generations. There is hope for healing and relief from the pain, sadness and anxiety that you might be carrying.
Abby’s words: “I believe every human person is good and is drawn towards goodness, beauty, truth and unity. My approach is to help the client to release whatever is blocking them from flourishing in the ways they desire.”
