Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Kingston, ON
From the outside, it may look like you have things together—but internally, it feels very different.
You might be someone others rely on: capable, thoughtful, and driven. Yet privately, you find yourself questioning your decisions, feeling stuck, or holding yourself to a standard that’s difficult to meet. Even when things go well, it’s hard to feel settled or satisfied.

Living in a capitalist society can often make us feel burned-out, chronically anxious, depressed and alienated from those we love the most. Too often, we are "working for the weekend", and when it comes we have precious little time to spend doing the things that bring us meaning and strengthen our most important relationships. There’s a huge disconnect between the conditions in which we evolved and how we now live. I help people to heal from unmet needs during development by uncovering and working to shift adaptations (now maladaptive). I specialize in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with Flowstate Therapy.

Are you in your 20's or 30's with ADHD, anxiety and/or unresolved grief? Do you have a hard time saying no, regulating big emotions, or saying what you mean? You're exhausted from putting on a mask and faking it just to get through each day, only to collapse into doom scrolling until you fall asleep at night. You have a hard time making decisions, and feel like your body is stuck in fight-or-flight. You've tried all the things - exercise, meditation, affirmations, daily planners - but nothing seems to help. It's starting to impact your most important relationships - be it romantically, with family, friends, school or work

Hi I’m Jenna! An Ottawa therapist helping people who feel disconnected from themself & others, due to anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, & chronic pain. My practice is rooted in my belief that connection is the foundation of an abundant life, and no one needs to hold their 'stuff' alone (because life can be hard enough already). For over a decade, I have supported clients to make sense of their experiences & create a life they love. What this looks like is defined by you, but can include support with stress, emotions, overthinking, dating, making friends, conflict, people pleasing, perfectionism, or loved ones with addictions.

Some of the most meaningful moments in therapy don't arrive with dramatic breakthroughs. They arrive quietly: a child captivated by an ant on the forest floor, a teenager talking while skipping stones, or a parent who lets out a breath they didn't realize they were holding.
I've learned that healing rarely begins with solving problems. More often, it begins with creating enough safety, connection, and curiosity for something new to emerge.
I work with children, teens, adults, and families, creating spaces where curiosity can replace judgment, strengths are rediscovered, and stories that once felt fixed can begin to shift.

Whether you’re searching for solid ground, a way forward, or a sense of greater meaning and connection in life, I will hold your concerns with dignity and non-judgment. I bring a gentle, focused attention to our time together, offering a space where you’re welcome to feel, talk about—and question—anything. I have a particular interest in helping adult individuals recover from the impacts of trauma (complex trauma, PTSD). I also work with issues such as grief, anxiety, relationship problems, identity shifts, and times of transition or uncertainty.

Whether you're feeling stuck, wanting to improve your mental health, or looking to process a difficult experience, I will provide a safe space for you to explore your lived experiences and current challenges. The process of talk therapy can be both difficult and rewarding and I firmly believe that all people can benefit from therapy. Therapy can help you gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, help you to feel more prepared to handle life's challenges, and bring about a greater sense of fulfilment.

As a non-binary, queer, and trans person, I know first-hand how challenging it can be to find acceptance and comfort in mental health care. Guided by inclusive, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed approaches, I aim to create a warm and welcoming space for those who feel misunderstood or judged by traditional cis-hetero-normative approaches to care. My priority is creating safety for 2SLGBTQ+ community members to embrace their unique strengths, explore their past, navigate their present, and thrive in their future!
