I welcome you, if you are ready to make deep and lasting changes in your life to find fulfillment, meaning, new skills and appreciation. I believe that each one of us is on a journey of recovery, healing, repairing, growing and learning how to manifest authentically and creatively. I also believe that the individual personal work we do directly impacts those in our life and our society at large. I know that we need to be connected to our families, neighbours, communities to find health. Similarly, we need to honour our land, our resources and all sentient beings. I look forward to meeting you in person or at a distance.

Hiya, I’m Jennifer. I know that life can feel overwhelming, whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, stress, or life transitions.

I specialize in guiding people through healing from trauma and reconnecting with their authentic selves. My approach is grounded in compassion and a deep respect for your unique journey.

After 10 years of teaching art in elementary and high schools, I made the shift to offer adapted art classes as a service provider to families who school from home.
My training in sensorimotor approaches to therapy will help you learn about how the body remembers and responds to events, both past and present. I also use nature-based therapy to support the themes of belonging and identity. I am able to work in a low-demand and non-directive way, or to provide directives if that approach is preferred.

I'm EMDR-trained and practice as a counselling art therapist.
 Many of the adults (18–65+) I support are navigating different expressions of depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity questions, and complex body/food relationships. Often, they feel stuck and are seeking a way out of unhelpful patterns, so that they can feel more grounded, authentic, and at peace in themselves. I bring a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy, grounded in openness, respect, and trauma sensitivity. Sessions with me are collaborative, conversational, and often infused with humour. My goal is to provide you with the tools and safety to explore and embrace all parts of yourself.

I use a trauma-informed, client-centered approach that integrates Accelerated Resolution Therapy ( ART), narrative therapy, and psychodynamic and humanistic approaches.
You may feel overwhelmed, burned out, or deeply self-critical, especially if you were late-diagnosed with ADHD or are exploring neurodivergence. Many clients I work with are tired of masking, pushing through, and feeling like they’re falling short in a world that doesn’t accommodate how their brain works. Therapy offers a supportive space to better understand yourself, develop self-compassion, and create strategies that feel sustainable and aligned.

Art therapy is available as part of the process if you like.
Are you going through a transition that feels bigger than you expected? Maybe it's a career change, retirement, a relationship shift, or a period of burnout where your usual ways of coping aren't working anymore. If you're someone who feels deeply and tends to carry the weight of change more than most, these times can feel especially overwhelming.

Are you overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, trauma, or life transitions? You don’t have to navigate it alone. In our work together, we’ll slow things down and gently tune into what your body is holding — the tension, exhaustion, and unspoken experiences beneath the surface. With warmth and curiosity, we’ll support your nervous system, build practical coping tools, and explore patterns at a pace that feels safe. My hope is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with steadiness, healing, and a deeper sense of belonging within yourself.
