Hi! I’m Jessica & my experience in the Christian community has typically been either an overemphasis or underemphasis on either spirituality or psychology when it comes to mental health matters. It is my passion & hope to honor both influences in the counselling setting. For me, therapy is a space to develop a strong caring relationship, explore someone’s history with the intent of linking current day struggles, teach practical coping strategies, and ultimately help someone thrive in a world that is often wrought with difficulty. I use evidence-based methods from a structured and holistic approach sometimes assigning homework.

Currently NOT Accepting Clients. I will complete an initial assessment to help determine the depth of your depression, anxiety, unhealthy coping strategies and other areas that may be causing you to feel stuck. We repeat what’s familiar. Even though we know what is dysfunctional, and not working well for us, we repeat behaviours because they are familiar. We can break old patterns and rewire our brain, forming new neural connections so that new thoughts and behaviours become the norm.

Do you feel like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way and want things to change, but don’t know where to start? Are you seeking motivation that never seems to come? Perhaps, you are struggling with a difficult life decision in terms of your relationship, family, or career? Is your mental health negatively impacting your day to day functioning and you’re ready to make a change?

We as humans are biologically hardwired to connect with others. Meaningful connection may look different for everyone, but at our essence, our need for attachment with others is innate and powerful. We also have a deep need for authenticity and the emotional safety to be who we truly are. How we connect with others and with ourselves shapes much of how we experience the world and our life. Sometimes, life gets chaotic, and our capacity to connect to our true selves and to others becomes stifled. The impacts of anxiety, depression, toxic stress, and trauma, can place large burdens on our ability to cope and feel well.

Currently accepting new clients in person and virtually. Welcome! I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing a range of mental health challenges. I am first and foremost client-centred and collaborative in my approach, which means we work together on how to best support your mental health. Some modalities I tend to draw upon are play therapy, sand tray therapy, expressive arts, narrative therapy, and DBT. However, therapy is for you, and if something doesn’t resonate, we will shift gears until we find something that does. Therapy is a journey we walk together.

From time to time, we all face challenges that can be overwhelming. Sometimes these challenges are situational, but they can also be the result of our lived experience(s) over time. Often they manifest as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and self harm. These manifestations can lead to further challenges such as job loss, family conflict, isolation, and addiction. Although we may flounder or experience failure, we can develop the strategies needed to live a flourishing life. Integrative therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, and Solution Focused Therapy teach us how to live well.

None of us deserve to face life feeling alone. You deserve a safe space where you can feel heard; a place to work through whatever comes your way; and a place to gain tools that you can use to live every day to the fullest. Perhaps you have a child who is learning to work through their emotions, or you are a young person having a hard time at school or at home. Maybe you are a parent looking to find ways to connect with your child(ren) differently than you are now or you're an adult who is about to go through a big life transition and want a listening ear.
