We all experience fear, angst and distress. A cure for mental illness isn't in my reach. I can help you develop behavioural strategies to become comfortable feeling these emotions. And remember, the journey itself is the reason we grow. My professional and personal goal is to guide you to see the courage that you already possess.

Complex/Relational Trauma Therapy: Jennifer works with adults who have experienced intergenerational and interpersonal traumas in their upbringing and in adult relationships. We may have had unavailable caregivers whom did not have the tools to provide essential emotional support, which then shaped our sense of shame and other core beliefs about our worth. We needed to feel safe and protected, to be guided with the appropriate balance of security and independence to develop self-trust and confidence in our decision making. We learned to adapt and survive with coping strategies that continue to exist and may no longer be helpful.

When I was 17 I began to have chest pains that were so sharp I couldn’t breathe. I went to the doctor thinking there was something wrong with me. His answer: "you’re just stressed". I had no idea why I was anxious, and nothing seemed to help. I began using addictions to cope with the anxiety, choosing the short-term relief despite the long-term consequences. Eventually those consequences forced me to seek help, and I began my recovery journey. That was eight years ago. Therapy has been life changing for me - I became more calm, happy and connected, and I began to wonder if this was something I could do for others as well.

It’s overwhelming when nothing feels safe, worrying about your life here in Canada and the well-being of your family abroad. Maybe you’ve been met with prejudgment and discrimination in the past, where shame, guilt, anxiety, and stress have become the norm. With so many expectations and demands, it all feels too much. You know deep down there must be someone who can guide you, someone who understands. I’m so glad you’re here. When I immigrated to Canada, I confronted my intergenerational trauma; I felt confused and very alone. I know what it’s like to grapple with identity, belonging, and the pressure of cultural expectations.

Living in a rural community, I have learned to be adaptive in my approach to psychotherapy. I work with couples and individuals, varying in age from 12 onward. I have ADHD and I live in a fat body- my special interests tend toward working with clients who are neurodiverse, and those who struggle with relationship to food and body, anxiety and self-esteem. The idea of 'wellness' is not a prescription, rather it must be a feeling of security and peace in our own bodies and minds. That's why my philosophy of care includes setting a pace that fits your needs and helping you foster your own feelings of empowerment and self-growth.

The first important way to get yourself out of this space is to imagine life when your problems are gone. You can imagine it now.

Life can get overwhelming, mainly when we believe we must always keep it together. The pressure, the stress, the expectations- it's just too heavy, too much. The truth is, we're not meant to carry it all with us everywhere we go. Often, we don't know how to put it down, take a break, or let ourselves breathe. It can feel challenging, even scary, to unlearn these patterns and develop a new relationship with ourselves.

You’re dealing with a lot; feeling guilty and confused. Guilty for not loving more or trying harder. They’re telling you these things - it must be true, right? They were charismatic and charming, showering you with PDA and compliments, but it all changed. You’re embarrassing they say, and now you feel trapped and broken. You’re not alone. It's not your fault. You Google “abusive relationships” and read about narcissistic abuse. That’s your life! You need guidance. I know this because I needed it too. I chased “good enough” trying to “behave well” for my family. After college, I married and divorced a narcissist who always blamed me.
