What's My Approach to Therapy?

It feels like you’re drifting—maybe even lost. You give everything to those around you, yet no one seems to be there to take care of you. It’s as if you’re drowning, and no one notices.

The weight of it all makes you feel sick, sometimes so much that you miss work. If one more person asks for something, you might just explode. Your eating habits are all over the place—just last night, you finished an entire pizza. You’re at your breaking point. You’re constantly giving, yet those around you still complain about your attitude.

They say:

"You’re angry."

"You’re too negative."

"You don’t take care of yourself."

"I’m worried about you."

But they don’t see how much you already do. You’ve always taken care of everyone else. And in return? More demands. More expectations.

You’re running on empty, and there’s nothing left to give…

You’re ready for a change. You long for support—someone outside your usual circle, someone who isn’t constantly asking for more from you. You want to feel secure in your relationships, with strong, healthy boundaries that protect your well-being. You’re ready to be cared for, not just the one always doing the caring. It’s time to reclaim your balance, your peace, and your sense of self.

I am Abigail Blackburn.

The kind of therapy I practice is called interpersonal or relational therapy. This approach focuses on the relationships in your life—past and present—and how they shape your emotions, behaviors, and sense of self. Our early experiences, especially those in childhood, play a significant role in how we navigate relationships as adults. We often carry unspoken lessons, patterns, and expectations that can impact our ability to connect, communicate, and set boundaries.

In interpersonal therapy, we explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, helping you recognize what’s working, what’s not, and how to create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Whether you're struggling with conflict, emotional disconnection, or people-pleasing tendencies, this therapy offers a space to understand your relational dynamics and develop new ways of engaging with others.

By deepening your awareness and making intentional shifts, you can experience more meaningful connections, a stronger sense of self, and the confidence to set boundaries that honor your needs.

Using interpersonal or relational therapy, I can help you reach the change you are looking for.

I can help create boundaries and feel secure in your relationships. I can help you explore and protect your well-being. I can help you find that balance and sense of self you are looking for.

Helping You Reclaim Balance, Boundaries, and a Sense of Self

You’ve spent your life giving—caring for others, meeting their needs, and making sure everything gets done. But somewhere along the way, you lost yourself. You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and unseen. You keep pushing forward, but deep down, you’re running on empty.

You don’t have to do this alone.

As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in supporting people who feel emotionally drained, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or burdened by the weight of their relationships. Whether you’re struggling with relationship challenges, childhood wounds, overwhelming emotions, or out-of-control eating patterns, I provide a space where you can be heard, understood, and supported.

As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in supporting people who feel emotionally drained, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or burdened by the weight of their relationships. Whether you’re struggling with relationship challenges, childhood wounds, overwhelming emotions, or out-of-control eating patterns, I provide a space where you can be heard, understood, and supported.

The therapy I practice—interpersonal and relational therapy—focuses on the relationships in your life, both past and present. The way you were raised, the unspoken lessons you learned, and the patterns you carry forward all shape how you connect with others. Sometimes, those patterns serve you well. Other times, they leave you feeling unheard, unfulfilled, or resentful.

Together, we’ll explore those patterns with curiosity and compassion. We’ll work to untangle the beliefs and habits that no longer serve you and replace them with healthier, more empowering ways of relating to yourself and others.

My goal is to help you:

✔ Create and maintain healthy boundaries
✔ Break free from people-pleasing and over-giving
✔ Heal from past emotional wounds
✔ Develop a stronger sense of self-worth
✔ Experience more meaningful and fulfilling relationships

This journey is about transformation—about reclaiming your voice, your needs, and your well-being. If you’re ready to stop just surviving and start truly living, I’m here to help.

Let’s begin.
