Jay works with young people and adults — from age 12 right through adulthood — navigating stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, identity, relationships, minority stress, ADHD, Autism, OCD, BPD, CPTSD, PTSD, Bipolar and Dissociative Disorders, PMDD, and chronic illness. She is compassionate, warm, and genuinely curious about her clients' lives. Jay collaborates actively on the areas that matter most to each person, and at the centre of her work is helping clients feel safe, seen, and valued — knowing real change happens once those foundations are in place.
Jay integrates evidence-based approaches tailored to each person, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, Compassion-Focussed Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and Neurodivergence-Affirming Therapy.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you've felt unheard before or aren't sure where to begin. Jay's practice is Neurodivergence-Affirming, LGBTQIA+ allied, and culturally inclusive — a space where you can show up as you are. If any of this resonates, she'd be glad to hear from you.
