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.

Psychotherapy literally means "Healing the Soul." Our personalities and the world around us are multifaceted and often mysterious. Exploring the mystery of who we are can bring clarity and meaning to our lives, our relationship with the world, and open new perspectives and possibilities in how we live. I have worked and studied in many areas including social work, philosophy, music, martial arts and shamanic practices. I use a wide range of modalities depending on the needs, uniqueness and preferences of each person. My therapy training includes Existential-Integrative psychotherapy which emphasizes the search for authenticity, meaning and wholeness in our lives.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you want to make a change and just don’t know where to begin? Do you need a different perspective than that of your friends and family around you regarding your life situation? I have a passion for working with individuals and couples looking to make a change or those who are facing a crossroad or large transition in their lives and are needing some strategies, guidance and support navigating these changes. I like to help guide others towards living their best life using the strength and resources they already have, through skills and practical guidance.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

My ideal person to work with is one who has done some personal work already and is wanting to dive deeper. I am often sought out when people have been through the system and are looking for a more compassionate and empowering perspective than what is often offered. Without condoning or promoting the use of any substances, I do work from a harm reduction perspective and support prep and integration of psychedelic experiences as well as harm reduction coaching and consulting for microdosing. I do group ceremonies with breathwork and come from an anti-oppression framework.

I believe in the healing power of your own psyche and safe, compassionate therapy to help you know where to dig and where to build.
Together, we will map out a path toward relief and renewed clarity.

Maybe you're doing your best to keep it all together, but inside, it feels like you're unraveling. Maybe you're facing a big life change, grieving a loss, navigating illness, or feeling crushed by pressure at work or school. Relationships may feel strained, and your mind rarely quiets down. You feel anxious, stuck, emotionally drained—and unsure how to move forward. You don't have to face this alone! I help teens and adults explore what’s beneath the surface, process difficult emotions, and find clarity, healing, and direction through talk therapy, art therapy, mindfulness and mind-body techniques tailored to each person's needs.

You used to cry and yell and shake and create. There was no such thing as good or bad art, good feelings or bad feelings. Before life taught you to hold it all in and prioritise productivity over pleasure, expression flowed freely through your wise body. Pain didn’t last so long, as you existed in harmony with yourself.
Expressive Arts Therapy invites you into a forever process of coming back home.
To a YOU in harmony with yourself, a YOU fully alive in all of your senses, a YOU bringing your full expression to the world and sowing seeds of beauty wherever you dare to trust your inner voice.

“People start to heal, the moment they are heard.” Belonging, Affirmation/Validation and Trust are the pillars of the space I hold for clients. I believe that when our lives are disrupted and we feel overwhelmed by the circumstances we face, it's helpful to have a place to share our feelings, concerns and experiences safely. From that place of safety, we can create a plan together and move towards becoming more cohesive and balanced.

My passion is to walk with people on their journey towards a life that is rich and meaningful. While we can't change painful experiences from the past, we can work together towards better understanding and resolution of them in the present. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will explore and challenge long-standing behaviour patterns and/or negative perceptions which may be problamatic. Whether you are looking for extra support or guidance through a particular challenge or you're just ready to move in a new direction, I will work with you towards achieving your goals.

Accepting some new clients!

You are constantly walking on eggshells. Always on high alert, your highly sensitive brain is always scanning other people's expressions to make sure everything is okay. You over-apologize, over-explain, over-share or disconnect and push your emotions deep down. You feel different - too emotional, too “much”. A sense of loneliness and longing for something you can’t describe looms in the background of everything you do. No matter what you try the feeling that there’s “something wrong with you” just won’t let up. You try to feel better - you have journaled, meditated, tried therapy, medication, breathwork…but nothing helps for long

Are you feeling stressed or worrying about too much in your life, or perhaps frustrated in your personal or work relationships? Are you going through a life transition that leaves you feeling unsure and anxious? Many people who are struggling with uncertainty have a hard time knowing what direction to go in. It may be that you’ve tried to handle things on your own, or put off reaching out for support because you feel you should be able to work through your challenges by yourself. Sometimes everyone around you seems to have answers, but all you feel is confused. Mostly, you don’t want to let others down and feel that you might.
