Hello!

Hello! My name is Abigail (pronouns she/her) I am a Master's of Counselling Psychology student at Adler University and I obtained my BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of British Columbia. I am a Chinese-Canadian cisgendered woman who was born and raised in the Greater Vancouver area, on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and kwikwəƛ̓ əm (Kwikwetlem) nations. 

No matter what stage of life you are at or what burdens may be weighing on you, we can work together to unpack these challenges. Therapy is a safe space that can look different for every person. Whether you are looking to process overwhelming emotions, achieve specific behaviour changes, develop more meaningful connections, or understand traumatic responses, I am here to support your journey and discover what resilience looks like for you. As a counsellor, my goal is to help you gain more autonomy in your life and feel empowered to make changes every day. 

Working at the pace you set to achieve your unique goals, I prioritize developing a strong connection with my clients as a base for the therapeutic relationship, while emphasizing the importance of compassion and empathy. I welcome your feedback at every point in our work together. 

My approach is primarily grounded in attachment-based and psychodynamic theory, which means that your personal experience will guide the pathway to healing. I also use cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to tend to distressing emotions and thoughts, while developing strategies you can use in your everyday life. I am looking forward to meeting with you and beginning our work together.
