Registered Behavioral Technician
Abby started working with Actualize Behavior Alternatives in 2023 out of the desire to help others develop the skills to improve their mental health and further their independence. She is a huge advocate of social emotional learning and expanding effective emotional expression.
She received her degree in psychology with an emphasis on neuroscience from Iowa State University in 2022. Abby is currently in the last year of her Master’s program at the University of Northern Colorado working towards a degree in clinical mental health counseling with an emphasis on play therapy and working with individuals with special needs.
One of the most valuable lessons Abby has learned from the school of hard knocks is…. Having a hard-set plan is impossible in this life! Being able to roll with the punches as long as we’re having fun and spreading kindness makes those big changes just a little easier to accept.
If Abby could choose any superpower, it would be flying or teleportation.
In Abby’s personal time you can most often find her spending time with her 2 cats Daphne Mae Blue and Davey Jones Crochet. She loves to read and is a big-time crafter. She also spends a lot of time hiking, playing pick-up sports around the metro, and thrifting.
