Abigail was a God-send when I needed healing and recovery. She nudged when needed and stepped back at times to allow me to find out who I truly am and to be ok with that person.. She's been a tremendous help to me becoming aware of my wants, needs, and dislikes. Hats off to Abigail...she's the best!!!

I love working with Abigail. She can see more clearly than I can what my challenges are, and she patiently and lovingly circles me back to the topic so I can continue to learn and grow! Thank you Abigail for your continued support and help in my healing.

I have been working with Abigail for over 5 months and she has been immensely helpful in equipping me with tools, helping me discover fresh perspectives and new ways of thinking about my ongoing challenging situation. I feel empowered, stable and hopeful. She is always extremely empathetic and kind. She has a fantastic sense of humour paired with so much wisdom and knowledge. I feel very safe and very lucky to be working with her. She is the most amazing therapist I have ever met.

She is attentive and listens, keeps an open mind ready to work with me towards achieving my goals. Yet keeps me accountable. I find myself able to pull up stuffs deeply buried and work through my trauma without feeling judged. So I get empathy with a gentle nudge to keep working on overcoming my struggle. I would recommend her if you are looking for someone who gives that feeling of "oh she gets me" because I felt she understood me and I am really complex
