I work with adults who are ready to do something different. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Others are processing childhood experiences, navigating relationship challenges, or facing a life transition that has left them unsure of what comes next. With over 25 years of experience, I offer a warm, collaborative approach that blends talk/somatic therapy to help you understand yourself more deeply. Together we create a treatment plan built around your goals, and I equip you with practical tools to build confidence, set boundaries, and move forward.

Change can be tough and constant. Sometimes we adjust with ease but other times we find ourselves feeling stuck. Life can get in the way from where we desire to be. Fear of change can lead us into feeling guarded, hurt or even resentful. Do you feel like you are moving through the motions of life and not actually experiencing your life to the fullest? Ruminating on the “what ifs”? Disconnecting from the present waiting for the other shoe to drop? What if you tapped into the courage within you to lean into these moments? What if I told you that you deserve moments of joy; you deserve to experience the best in your life.

Life doesn’t follow a straight path. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from yourself, others, or the life you imagined. Perhaps you're navigating trauma, grief, ADHD, or emotional dysregulation, and seeking a space where you’re truly seen. My clients often carry complex stories and deep resilience. They want clarity, healing, and a path forward. Whether you're a first responder, a neurodivergent adult, or someone healing from trauma, you deserve care that honours your lived experience and helps you reconnect with your strength.

Often, my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, burdened by past traumas, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. They yearn for relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Many seek a path toward self-acceptance, healthier relationships, and a more balanced life. Their goals are as unique as their stories—some wish to break free from chronic stress or persistent sadness, while others hope to reconnect with their bodies and build resilience from the inside out. Ultimately, they desire meaningful change and the skills to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence.

Life can feel like a never-ending cycle of to-do lists, challenges, changes, and obstacles accompanied by feelings of pressure, anxiety, stress, exhaustion, fear, guilt, grief, and more. You may have noticed you’ve felt lost, irritable, overwhelmed, unmotivated, and or alone when these cycles persist. Daily life becomes difficult to navigate, and you begin to experience a decline in your focus, loss of happiness, and symptoms of physical distress. In addition, your relationships have become strained, and you feel unattached. You're not sure where to start or you feel like you've tried everything with little to no relief.

New Sep 2026 - You've tried the breathwork app. The cold plunge. The magnesium, the dopamine menu and the weighted blanket. None of it has actually stuck. You're still lying awake at 11:47pm scrolling tiktok wondering if you're ADHD, autistic, or maybe just exhausted? You replay every interaction on the drive home - the way your boss paused before saying "sure," the colleague who didn't smile back. You're either revved up and running caffeine or completely crashed and can't get off the couch. There's no middle. You know you need to rest. But have tried all the things, but nothing seems to last for long enough to make a difference

Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating or shameful. Whether you can't stop thinking about something, never feel good enough, or constantly compare yourself to others, I am here to help. If you are navigating dissociation or flashbacks, struggling with forming your identity or developing meaning in life, I can provide DBT & Trauma informed therapy. Or maybe you're looking for support with leaving a toxic job or relationship, trying to decrease the inner critic and perfectionism, or struggle with focusing and completing a task. Understanding our unconscious motivations and defence mechanisms can also be revealing character work.

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.
