Welcome I’m Abigail.
My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you begin your wellness journey. In our sessions, we’ll build a therapeutic relationship based on trust, openness, and authenticity.
I’ve experienced firsthand the transformative power of therapy. As a result, I developed a passion to help others discover the freedom that counselling can offer. I noticed a shift in my mood and a reduction in negative thoughts like shame and guilt. Eventually,
I began treating myself with the same kindness I showed my loved ones. I also started learning about my core traits without self-judgment or the urge to change who I am. Over time, I found myself appreciating things about who I am. I gave myself the grace to make mistakes, which helped me find peace in the present moment and practice acceptance. Because of this journey, I began exploring mindfulness, yoga, and meditation. I also started using physical movement and somatic work to support emotional healing in therapy.
My Approach to Therapy
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP), I am committed to helping people navigate life’s challenges.
I offer in-person therapy sessions in Cambridge and virtual counselling across Ontario with Atlas Therapy. My approach is collaborative and person-centred. It’s tailored to
your unique needs and goals.
To support your growth, I integrate Humanistic/Relational approaches that focus on building the therapeutic alliance, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and somatic-based practices. These are grounded in trauma-informed, strengths-based principles, and are evidence-based. Altogether, they help calm the mind, soothe the body, and restore a sense of control.
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Behaviour from McMaster University.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you. Please consider booking a free 15-minute consultation. That way, we can connect, answer questions, and see if working together feels right.
About Me (Things I Could Chat About for Hours)
When I’m not in session, you’ll usually find me cuddled up with my cat watching the latest show or going down a true crime rabbit hole. I love crocheting, crafting, and anything art related, curling up with a good book, or spending time in the kitchen baking. I’m always happy to chat about DWTS, Harry Potter, The Office, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Survivor—bonus points if you have strong opinions.
