Welcome! I'm Jessie.
A little bit about me is that I immigrated to Canada when I was 5, and grew up across a mix of cities. I was also raised in a multi-faith household.
In my own communities, I’ve seen the impact of generations of trauma and low mental health support. It’s not easy trying to navigate everything all at once: your environment, your people, yourself.

I am a psychotherapist who combines art therapy and talk therapy with body awareness.

In my practice, I centre the making of art as a place to begin — our sessions might include conversation, painting, clay work, breathing techniques and more. I value the role of verbal and body-centred processing and our sessions may include all these approaches.
