About Abbe

Abbe specializes in evaluating and treating people who have aphasia. Her approach revolves around an individual’s goals to create functional, engaging, relevant, and purposeful outcomes that go beyond a treatment room. She provides therapy driven by evidenced-based practices while modifying programs to suit each individual client’s needs. Abbe prides herself on the relationships she builds with clients and their communication partners.

After more than 26 years of serving people with aphasia, Abbe learned and witnessed the power of intense and consistent skilled therapy. Her work as a communication coach and group leader at renowned aphasia centers allowed her to see the benefit of immersing in productive language opportunities that last more than a typical 45-minute session.

As a SLP, Abbe has seen first hand how care partners’ lives change when a loved one receives a sudden life changing diagnosis.  Because this new role often impacts health and wellness, Abbe has created programs that coach care partners along their unexpected journey.
