Therapists in L4R
I’m passionate about working with people who truly know themselves—or are on the journey to discovering who they are—and aren’t afraid to seek support when they need it. Therapy isn’t just about showing up; it’s about engaging in the process with intention, curiosity, and a commitment to real growth. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be fully present, embrace change, and move forward with confidence.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

While certainly open to journeying with any and all who may arrive at my door, I have a passion for helping create marriages & relationships that are enjoyed rather than endured; I love to help folks navigate the complexities of life's trauma(s), whether PTSD or otherwise; especially for those having dedicated their own lives to serving others (Military, First Responders, Medical Personnel, Pastors, Therapists, etc.); and I also hold a strong desire to help men overcome the various apprehensions they tend to experience around the notions of emotion and their own reaching out for help.

Anxiety, Panic, Obsessive Thoughts - these experiences can make you feel helpless and alone. Having provided counselling and therapy for over 12 years, I have seen how common the experience of having “anxiety about the anxiety” is. I am passionate about helping people to understand how anxiety/mood issues operate, the grip they form on you, and how to begin to heal. I am also dedicated to helping those who suspect they are struggling with a narcissist in their life. I strive to help clients understand how this negative pattern of behaviour is impacting them and how to start protecting themselves.

Hello! My name is Jennifer and I am a reformed intellectualizer who now helps individuals and couples through body-based psychotherapy. Many of my clients feel disconnected from their bodies, whether this be because of pain (chronic or sexual), burnout, trauma, or emotional numbing. It can be impossible to feel sometimes. While our bodies are smart and have adapted to our environments, there is also a way to reconnect and heal.
