Bisexual Therapists in Timmins, ON

I offer therapy for relationships and intimacy. It’s terrifying and heartbreaking to think that this may be the end of your relationship. There is distance and disconnection between you and your partner. You feel alone and desperate to reconnect but they feel so far away or you don’t even recognize them anymore. You feel more like roommates than partners, or you’ve been betrayed and no one can understand why you want to stay in this relationship. You don’t know where things went wrong but something needs to change.

Couples therapy can help uncover core issues causing the conflicts in your relationship. We can learn to identify triggers, work through past and current conflicts, understand your attachment style, and reconnect emotional and physical intimacy. Together, we can rebuild relationships with attachment injuries such as trauma, betrayals, and infidelity and learn to support each other through the emotional turmoil by making repairs and taking steps towards conflict resolution. We can work through conflicts occurring in your relationship to help you both feel more supported and connected.

Hello, my name is Jennifer and I am a registered Social Worker in the province of Ontario. I completed an undergraduate Social Work degree at Algoma University and a Master of Social Work degree from Laurentian University.

Does it feel like layers of stress, pressure, anxiety, and tension are starting to pile up on you? Are the struggles becoming harder to cope with? I can help. I have 13+ years of experience supporting clients as they overcome various challenges and difficulties. I am excited, dedicated, and passionate about helping clients discover their goals, reduce their suffering, and find their way to a better life.

My career as a therapist started as a career in theatre and film due to my love of narrative and storytelling. Over time, I became more interested in how the stories we believe about ourselves shape how we live our lives. I use scientifically supported treatments like CBT to explore these stories and see how helpful or not they are. Of course, we often already know that something isn't working, but it can be hard to believe anything different. To that end, our sessions usually include seeking out new experiences to develop new perspectives. My clients tell me they're surprised by how much more they can do than they first thought.
