You hold it together on the outside — but inside, it’s chaos. Anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt, a negative inner voice, and guilt are running the show. You beat yourself up, replay conversations, and wonder why you can’t just feel better. You’re tired of pretending you’re fine and carrying the mental load alone. You want to feel calm, grounded, and more in control of your life. In therapy, we’ll get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck and give you real tools to calm your mind, manage emotions, feel like yourself, and feel in control again — not just surviving, but finally living a life with clarity and confidence.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are hard to shift, or navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, or a life transition that feels heavy, you don’t have to carry it alone. You might find yourself overthinking, feeling burnt out, or struggling to keep up with everything on your plate. Therapy can be a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s been happening, and begin to feel more grounded and in control. I support individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and life transitions.

We love to think outside the traditional therapy box and bring in somatic and experiential methodologies to our practice.
At Bodymind Collective, we believe in the interconnection between individual and collective healing and that good therapy should involve more than just "talking it out". We offer a holistic approach that takes into account the bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions of health, with an emphasis on integrating mind and body-based approaches to therapy. We recognize that the root causes of distress do not occur at an individual level but are rooted in our relationships, societal systems, and complexities of our lived experience as human beings. We support our clients to process these experiences in a safe and trauma-informed space.

Intense emotions can pull you into a downward spiral of feeling overwhelmed and lost. It is difficult to face life when you are walking around with a heavy chest or feeling anxious. It is likely that you were never taught how to cope with how you feel or understand why a part of you feels empty inside. It can feel uncomfortable to turn to friends and family, fearing how they may react. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space, where you can feel heard as you work through difficult emotions. I can provide you with the insight, tools and support you need to bring about healing so that you can approach life in a new way.

You’ve carried so much for so long—maybe anxiety, trauma, or just that heavy sense of being stuck. Part of you wants change, and another part might feel scared or unsure. That’s okay. Healing isn’t about forcing anything; it’s about learning to listen inward with compassion. My clients are ready to explore at their own pace, bringing honesty, courage, and sometimes even a bit of humour to the process.

Hello! I work with clients with an array of concerns, but have developed a special interest in helping individuals ages 16+ who are dealing with OCD, anxiety, and panic. I work from a compassionate, evidence-based approach called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that builds psychological flexibility skills to engage more fully in life. I’m also trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is an evidence-based therapy for anxiety and currently the gold standard treatment for OCD, and provide this from an ACT and compassion-focused orientation.

If anxiety is making it hard to focus, sleep, enjoy friends, or feel comfortable in your own skin, you are not alone. Many young people struggle with worry, racing thoughts, or physical tension that can make everyday life overwhelming. Parents may feel unsure how to help and want their child to feel calmer, more confident, and able to handle challenges. I provide a safe and supportive space where youth can understand their anxiety, learn strategies to manage it, and begin to feel more in control. I also help families strengthen communication and connection.

I often blend attachment science, ACT, EMDR, and somatic therapy, with a sprinkle of humour.
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.

I integrate EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), and attachment-focused therapy to help regulate your nervous system, process trauma, and rebuild a sense of safety and connection.
Many people begin trauma therapy when past experiences continue to shape how safe they feel in their body, relationships, and daily life. You may be carrying the impact of childhood trauma, attachment wounds, or chronic stress that leaves you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
These experiences can affect self-worth, grief, and relationship patterns in ways that are hard to shift alone. What many people want most is to feel grounded, understood, and able to move through life with greater calm, stability, and self-trust.

I have been trained in various modalities from CBT, DBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling to navigate life's challenges? Too often we believe that our downfalls define us, rather than guide us and illuminate a path of learning and becoming. We feel alone as we mask our imperfections to morph into a world we believe rewards otherwise. Yet, in our loneliness lives an unspoken unity because we each carry the weight of our mask. I understand the complexity of emotions that arise in difficult times. If you're seeking to understand and manage your emotions, you've got to the right place. I'm here to help.

I understand the ways in which ADHD and trauma can impact our emotions, relationships, and self-concept; where feelings of overwhelm, guilt, shame, frustration, and anger can leave us feeling stuck and isolated.
