Empathy is limited by what you know...

You don’t know what you don’t know.

Generative exploration in ethical critique can support you in maintaining alignment and developing a practice that is grounded in justice-doing. Click below to access business consulting and clinical supervision in Vancouver. All services are offered virtually unless otherwise specified.

What to expect in your clinical supervision & business strategy sessions

The biggest guiding force in our work together is co-creation. Instead of only asking you questions about what you would do in a particular circumstance or telling you the “right way” to move forward, we’ll explore, together, what practices can look like considering the ethics and values you want to embody, the intricacies of supporting your clients with the contextual awareness of societal systems in its current and historical iterations, and the vision of the world you want to build in your life and practice.


No healing practice or logistics-related question is off-limits, and we look at all topics of consideration through a systemic, political lens that recognizes the messiness of being complicit in the medical industrial complex, while dreaming up liberatory practices for our collective wellness.

We are uninvited settlers occupying the stolen, territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), Qayqayt, and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) peoples. Our relationship with these lands dictates our commitment to understanding the ongoing impacts of colonization and decolonizing our practices in and out of the counselling room.

Hey, I'm Abby!

I'm an avid explorer of wonder and possibility, aspirational human database and connective force for our revolutionary resistance, co-creator with the magic that still manages to survive in this dumpster fire world, lover of all things with faces that probably shouldn’t have faces on it, and cat-reel aficionado (send me all your favourite cat reels please, or goats, idc, I’m open to all the furbuddy hilarity).


Justice-Oriented

Clinical Supervision & Business Consulting

…the level of monolithic stories you’ve had access to; the development of critique and analysis of systemic injustice; the amount of time you’ve spent unlearning the default indoctrination of oppression.


Counsellors, social support agencies, and businesses are being called to critique and transform the colonial and oppressive practices that underpin the development of our professions. In addition to helping practitioners unlearn oppressive practices and gain insight into how their identity, biases, and worldviews can influence their work, justice-oriented clinical supervision and business consulting can help us stay accountable to our ethics.


By engaging in justice-oriented clinical supervision, practitioners and teams can gain the practical and theoretical skills to guide practices and conversations that challenge oppressive systems and deconstruct power dynamics within work, life, and community settings. Our justice-oriented clinical supervisor in Vancouver offer an external perspective and guidance as you seek to foundationally integrate your ethics of equity and justice into your work. Meanwhile, business consulting can also support you in creating sustainable practices and improve upon policies and procedures to ensure that ethical decisions and actions are taken.

(she/her) MA, RCC-ACS

My work from frontline victim services to clinical counsellor and then to providing clinical supervision and teaching in postgraduate programs kept me curious about what it means to be human in this world, and what it means to be well in a world that’s so unwell.


For the last decade, I've had the privilege of working with folx resisting multiple systems of oppression, which often manifests as being impacted by the criminal punishment system, addictions, and relational trauma.


And now? I founded and run Venturous and Reflecting on Justice, a virtual community for therapists to unlearn systemic oppression together through free resources, a community membership, and various training programs, and co-founded and co-run Prospect Counselling, a Queer, POC-led, radical training practice that redirects proceeds from services to provide further training so that SDQTBIPOC+ communities can accessible and exceptional counselling, while funding projects for collective healing within communities. I am also part of the operations team at Healing in Colour and clinically supervise various local non-profit agencies and group practices.

Aside from workshopping together, humor is a big part of my approach, as well as holding space for grieving and radically loving accountability, offering perspectives from anti-oppressive scholars and activists. I read a lot — particularly around liberatory praxes like intersectional, anti-carceral feminism, disability justice, transformative justice, and abolition — so make sure to tap me in as a human database to support your processing and clinical decision making!


Above all else, I want you to know that you are not alone in this work. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel by yourself and there’s always more community and solidarity and joy and sustainability available to you than you know. 


Let's dream up something so, so much better.

I'm a cisqueer, working-turned-middle class, half-gen, currently non-disabled, straight-sized settler from Hong Kong who lives with chronic pain and ADHD. I found my way to this work through exploring and navigating my own relational trauma through the lens of privilege and systemic oppression (and Grey’s Anatomy, because apparently I make all my important life decisions based on TV shows). My ancestors come from roots in Chaozhou and Nanjing, and a lineage of creating sneaky practices to survive necropolitics, poverty, and refugeeism.
