I have completed specialized training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1).
Interior Sanctuary Counselling is rooted in connecting people to themselves in order to find peace and meaning, connecting them to nature and spirituality, and supporting couples and families in bringing peace and stability to their relationships. Creating a sense of "home" in our minds, bodies, relationships, and family systems helps to reduce feelings of loneliness. Buddhist psychology and spirituality are part of my therapeutic approach. Meditation helps reduce stress and increase insight, whilst learning the skills to adapt to change and recognizing the interconnectedness of all life can help to heal our sense of isolation.

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.

Therapy can be one session or multiple sessions depending on the issue(s) you face at any point in your life. I believe therapy is about taking baby steps toward a larger goal of health and happiness. It is not about letting a crisis or a long-standing situation define you.

To move forward, it’s important to honour our lived experiences, accept that deeper emotions are appropriate in certain situations and build trust in ourselves to know the difference.
