Hi! I’m Jessica. To me, therapy is a space for you to experience a strong caring relationship, explore your history with the intent of potentially linking it to current day struggles, learn practical coping strategies, and ultimately be supported to thrive in a world that is so often wrought with difficulty. I use evidence-based methods from a structured and holistic approach, sometimes assigning homework. I work hard to tailor your treatment experience based on comprehensive assessment and treating you as a human being, not just a client.

I have worked in Mental Health and Addiction services, crisis lines, and specialty clinics for Borderline Personality and Veterans/RCMP, giving me well rounded experience for various things you may need help with. I am most skilled and passionate about serving couples, helping those impacted by trauma or addiction, and honouring one's spirituality.

You are probably overwhelmed right now looking through multiple therapist profiles. Finding the right fit for you is definitely half the battle. I would invite you to check out my website and book a free consult so we can get to know each other and I can answer any questions you may have. I wish you well on this healing journey!
