I currently work from various modalities such as transpersonal psychology, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and internal family systems (parts work), to help you gain a deeper understanding of your strengths and increase resilience.
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'm trained in trauma processing, transpersonal psychology, and am credentialing with the Center For Medicinal Mindfulness.
The stress of daily responsibilities, relationships, work, and emotions can feel overwhelming. Maybe you're starting a new job or navigating life in a new city and feeling out of place. Perhaps you’re stepping into or out of a relationship and feeling unsteady. Maybe you’re exhausted from always putting others first, asking yourself, “Who am I?” or “Where do I go from here?” Sometimes, it feels like everything is happening all at once. These moments of uncertainty can spark a longing to reconnect with your inner wisdom, explore deeper parts of yourself, and find clarity, direction, and peace.

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.

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.

I use a wide range of modalities depending on the needs, uniqueness and preferences of each person.

You might not believe me right now, but it will get better. Whether you're grappling with the overwhelming weight of anxiety, the persistent fog of depression, or the unique complexities of neurodivergence, each day can feel like a tumbling, uphill battle. You feel constantly on edge even when you know there’s nothing wrong. The world feels gray and robbed of its colour. And you’re exhausted from trying to fit into a world that wasn't designed for your unique brain. Somehow, you’ve lost the will to be kind to yourself, let alone “love yourself,” even though all the IG inspo accounts you follow make it seem like that's so easy to do.

You’re stuck in cycles of overthinking, proving, pleasing, and perfectionism—exhausted from trying to get it all right while your own needs take a back seat. Full of doubt, it's never enough - or it's too much. These protective patterns once kept you safe, but now they quietly steal your peace, your power, and your sense of self. You long to feel calm and confident, but instead you feel stuck. You don’t need to push harder—you need a path back to yourself. And it is possible—by gently reconnecting with your body and feelings, your voice and truth, and the safety that already lives within you.

Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

Hi. I can imagine the steps leading you here today have involved some tough times. I know how difficult it is finding a therapist, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotional, scared. Or maybe things are going pretty well and you’re looking to grow. Either way, I think we all deserve every chance to prove ourselves, to ourselves in the one life we've been given here. That’s what I’m trying to do, at least. The only way I know how. Through reflection, listening, awareness, connection, and growth. I do this with folks who might need somenone to help them navigate anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and trauma.

Welcome. Many of my clients are looking for clarity, understanding, and connection—within themselves and in their relationships. Often, they are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, the lingering impact of childhood pains, or preparing for parenthood.

Trained in somatic psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, mindfulness, and transpersonal psychology, I integrate these modalities as needed.
As a somatic psychotherapist, I help individuals who feel disconnected from themselves and overwhelmed by stress or past trauma. My clients often seek a deeper connection between their body, heart and mind desiring healing that goes beyond talking about it. Using Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, and mindfulness, I guide them to gently release tension, process emotions, and regain a sense of safety and balance in their lives. Together, we work toward self-awareness, emotional regulation, and authentic connection.

Transpersonal Counsellors

How does transpersonal therapy work?

Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.

How long does transpersonal therapy last?

Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.

Is transpersonal therapy effective?

Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.

What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?

There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
