Hi there! My name is Jamie.

I will help you on your journey of personal growth, improved relationships, and healing. Together we will work towards enhance your coping mechanisms, build resilience, and reducing maladaptive thoughts and behaviours.

Do you need a safe place to discuss difficult issues? Are you interested in learning what you can do to help achieve better sleep? Could you use some help with managing symptoms of anxiety & depression ? Are you wondering if your drinking or drug use is a problem? Do PTSD symptoms prevent you from engaging in your daily activities? Is stress effecting your health? Using a client-centred approach, I encourage clients to be collaborative in their treatment. I believe there is always an opportunity for growth and change, and I support clients as they explore their own pathway to increased psychological wellness.

Maybe life has given you a entire bag of lemons; whatever the reason, I'm here to help. We will collaboratively develop goals in a supportive and empathetic atmosphere so you can hopefully achieve a more balanced life. Be warned, I keep it real as life is too short for a bunch of psycho-babble. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) which means I have regular consultations with a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Social Worker, Mary Earls until I meet the hours required by CRPO to be a full RP.

My passion lies in working with clients while utilizing a down to earth approach that values empathy and compassion. I believe in the inherent strength and resiliency of individuals and work to build upon that with the client to make changes and achieve goals. My overall aim is to assist the client in achieving a new found independence and confidence through empowerment and compassion.

Life is ever changing, bringing unanticipated circumstances which may leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and stressed. In addition to this, childhood trauma and family upbringing can also have long lasting effects on our choices as adults and the way in which we interact in relationships, preventing us from achieving fulfilment and healthy and positive connections with our partners and children. I can help you to develop tools that work for you to strengthen and drastically improve your self confidence, self image and relationship skills. I can help you understand and control feelings of anger, anxiety, depression, PTSD, Trauma, grief and much more.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I provide psychotherapy for individuals 16 years of age and older. I aspire to hold a warm, compassionate, and open space for clients to experience a genuine sense of trust and safety. My therapeutic scope includes anxiety disorder, trauma, life transitions, interpersonal challenges, loss and grief, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, personal growth, ASD, and meaning making and existential exploration. I also work with parents of neurodiverse children to support them in their own processing and healing to better cope with the parenting demands.

In addition to supporting clients through life transitions and challenges, I offer First Responder or a Trauma Exposed Professional a safe space to work through mental wellness with knowledgable mental health clinician who has also worked in the field. I have come to psychotherapy after having worked over 20 years as a frontline paramedic and bring a unique perspective to both my First Responder and “civilian” clients. Working together we can maneuver this time of your life to create personal growth and satisfaction in a judgement free, inclusive environment.

Pain is an inevitable part of life. But suffering does not have to be, and therapy can be a powerful tool to help. As an ally and guide in your mental health care, I offer a nonjudgmental space for you to show up just as you are and I show up as my authentic self, too. You will always be met with the unconditional care and acceptance you deserve. I believe in the inherent goodness and worth of each of us as human beings, and allow compassion and respect to drive my practice. During our time together, I will acknowledge and work with your strengths and resilience, while better understanding the patterns that no longer serve you.
