Using a cutting edge combination of psychotherapy, neurofeedback, and biofeedback, I take a holistic approach to wellness which addresses the mind, brain, body, and spirit. If you or your child is stuck and unable to navigate self-defeating or unmanageable patterns of behaviour, emotion, or relationships, I have powerful tools and 19 years of experience to help you find freedom and optimize your well being. As a counsellor, my priority is to ensure that my clients feel safe, understood, and skillfully supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental atmosphere. "The person is never the problem - the problem is the problem".

The fear of making a mistake may be keeping you up at night. Is trying to be perfect causing you to freeze? You look around, and it seems so easy for everyone else that it leaves you feeling there must be something wrong with you. Feeling anxious in new situations or when trying to do our best makes sense, but you have learned to hide these feelings and to show you are confident when, inside, you feel like an imposter. You have worked so hard to get where you are and tried to control and disconnect from this anxiety and self-criticism, but now you know something needs to change. This cycle may be escalating, and I am here to help.

Do you feel like you're stuck in old patterns? Are you always zoning out or in crisis mode? Do you struggle to connect with your body and aren't quite sure what it means to feel your feelings? Would you prefer to work with a queer therapist with experience supporting 2SLGBTQ+ folks and who is committed to integrating social justice into therapeutic work?
Somatic therapy facilitates developing a better relationship with yourself. Through connecting with our bodies, our wants, needs and boundaries are more clear and it begins to feel more possible to honour them.

Hello! My name is Jessie. Thank you for reaching out to consider if I’m the right counsellor for you. I have an online practice, Ongoing Self, and I offer in-person sessions through Peak Resilience. A little bit about me is that I immigrated to Canada when I was 5, and grew up across 6 different 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. My hope is to help you write a different future from the history handed to you.

As a bilingual counsellor fluent in both English and Chinese, I offer a unique perspective that bridges Western and Chinese cultures to help clients discover their own distinctive identities.

As a supervisor candidate, I am currently offering low cost supervision for interns and counsellors.

It can be challenging to articulate our emotions and experiences - using art materials in therapy can help us express and more deeply understand ourselves. Art therapy can support those wishing to explore stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, grief and loss, trauma, life direction, chronic illness and more. I aim to support each client as they grow and heal, restore internal balance and harmony, and connect with the sparks that align them with their most authentic and whole selves. Sessions combine talk therapy with art making - art expressions can offer wisdom and insight as clients embark on their therapeutic journey.

People seek out therapy because they cannot live their lives in the same way anymore. Perhaps there was a crisis, a feeling of despair, or a longing for something they have never had before. Therapy is a place to reflect on the past, explore present experiences and create change to have a different future. Therapy is not for the faint of heart, but with the right therapist, you will have a guide on your journey to knowing yourself more intimately.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you've been carrying things on your own for a long time.

Whatever brings you here, you don't have to face it alone.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and compassionate. Every person arrives with a different story, so rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, I integrate evidence-based approaches that are tailored to your unique needs.

You may be someone who feels things incredibly intensely, or someone who cannot quite figure out what they feel at all. Many of the people I work with are overwhelmed, chronically burnt out, stuck in painful relationship patterns, struggling with choices, or feeling lost. I work especially well with people with complex internal systems: artists, creatives, highly sensitive and neurodivergent folks, and those navigating CPTSD. Many of the clients I work with had tried other talk therapy, but still felt stuck. Working with relational somatic therapy can create meaningful and lasting change.

Do you feel like you’ve reached your breaking point, yet aren’t breaking through to the next level? Maybe you fluctuate between feeling scattered or paralyzed when it comes down to keeping up with everything. You might feel stuck when it comes to improving your relationships, career, or self-care. From the outside it can look like you don’t care enough, lack motivation, or are just not trying. We know that isn’t true. You are self-aware, especially about the kind of life you want, and who you’d love to be.

Hi! I work with a diverse range of people, including those experiencing eating disorders and disordered eating, anxiety, depression, familial conflict, trauma, cPTSD, and cultural issues.
Any of these issues can likely be taking up too much space in your life. They could be affecting your mood, your health and well-being, or your sense of self-worth. No matter where you are on this spectrum, your struggle is real and valid, and you don't have to face it alone.
