Navigating the world as a neurodivergent person can be incredibly challenging, especially without adequate support. If you're autistic, have ADHD, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, or are a trauma survivor, you know the unique hurdles that come with higher rates of trauma and PTSD. Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing sensory differences, executive functioning struggles, and the exhausting work of masking.

I'm Jessica, a neurodivergent counsellor, so I truly get it—because I've lived it too. I continuously educate myself on evidence-based practices to offer therapy that's both supportive and effective. My approach is tailored to you, so you feel genuinely heard and understood.

Finding a therapist who truly understands can be hard. I'm here to help you not just cope, but thrive. Let's work together on your journey. Reach out today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation—I'd love to connect with you.

I work with neurodivergent clients, trauma survivors and LGBTQIA people to build a toolbox of healthy coping skills, increase self-acceptance and self-compassion, and reduce distress in daily life. In early sessions, I will get to know your problems and goals, then create a plan to work on achieving those goals to relieve unwanted symptoms while increasing healthy inner resources.

Having done some training with Jessica, I got to work with her and she was a beautiful, warm presence. She was always so gentle, calm and regulated. So easy to get along with, someone I felt I could trust very easily. She is lovely!

I integrate a range of cognitive therapies with mindfulness practices & art therapies while also considering the impact of societal & family systems. If there's a type of therapy that hasn't worked for a client, I take that into consideration & explore other approaches. I follow evidence-based practices & use neuroscience psychoeducation to keep clients safe and informed.
