I work with adults experiencing the effects of trauma, including survivors of sexualized and domestic violence, and first responders and front-line workers exposed to occupational stress and critical incidents. Many are navigating PTSD or C-PTSD, along with anxiety, depression, or substance use. Clients often present with dysregulation and the ongoing impact of trauma on relationships, safety, and daily functioning. I use a relational, client-centred approach and work collaboratively to identify and address these patterns. I hold a master’s in counselling psychology from UVic and am currently completing a PhD at UBC.

You find yourself stuck with thoughts, feelings, or behaviours that weigh you down and isolate you from loved ones. Maybe you're in the midst of crisis and you need someone to listen and support you. I'm convinced (based on good evidence) that it's possible to change how we live and relate to the world around us. We can ask new questions, think new thoughts, embrace our emotions, challenge our beliefs, and heal from trauma. I can help you identify where you're at, what you need, and then work with you to achieve your goals through an approach that is relational, creative, and collaborative.

Whether you are looking to improve your self-esteem, build more satisfying interpersonal relationships, make a career change, explore your sexual orientation/gender identity or heal from trauma, I welcome you.
My approach to counselling utilizes a narrative therapy lens, with a focus on anti-oppression and empowerment. We all possess incredible strengths-sometimes we just need someone to help us see those strengths more clearly and to reflect them back to us. A strength-based approach is an integral part of my offerings in the counselling space.

You feel constantly drained, yet unable to fully shut off. Even when you try to rest, your mind stays busy, replaying responsibilities, expectations, and what still needs to be done. The pressure never really lifts. Tasks pile up faster than you can clear them, and even when you are productive, it never feels like enough. It can feel like swimming upstream in a steady current, expending enormous effort just to stay above water. You are exhausted, but your system does not know how to slow down. I'm Jessica, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and I work with people who are in chronic stress and ready for change.

When we feel stuck or disconnected, we are likely experiencing a change in our momentum. My goal for our work together is to inspire forward momentum, however big or small. Rather than chasing goals, I strive to stretch your natural strengths and abilities in order to achieve your desired outcomes. By working together to equalize your own playing field, we can explore the stressors and challenges in your life. This allows us to find strategies to best manage your presenting symptoms while exploring the root discomfort.
