Abbie did not plan on working in the mental health field originally. However, she became passionate about it after gaining some experience in it. She recognizes that it is an underserved industry considering so many individuals experience at least some type of mental health disorder. Another factor that drives Abbie is her own experiences with anxiety and the coping skills that she has found useful in managing it. She enjoys sharing similar tools with others.

For example, she is able to really assess what they are going through and work with them to develop a treatment plan that is a good fit for them. In her opinion, utilizing both medication management and traditional therapy together will provide the best outcome. The ability to help people take these steps is very motivating for her each day.

Get direction for your life!

Most of our poor decisions and behaviors that we wish we could re-do are driven by our feelings. In most cases we are probably reacting from an emotion and not even really thinking!

ODD is one of the most common behavioral disorders among kids. Unfortunately, people exhibiting these behaviors are sometimes mislabeled as "naughty" or "bad," which can be damaging.

Regulate your emotions and then engage in co-regulation with your teen from a place of curiosity and compassion.
