Hi, I’m Jen! Do you struggle with low self-esteem, a lack of self-confidence, anxiety, self-criticism, or imposter syndrome? Would you like to enhance your meditation practice or heal from trauma? Or are you a therapist feeling overwhelmed, wanting support, or feeling the need to process present or past issues. If any of these statements resonate with you, I’m here to listen and help. I'm passionate about assisting women on their wellness journeys.

Hi there, I'm a trauma focused therapist, offering EMDR therapy and somatic experiencing among other modalities, with over 15 years of practice in mental health. Please reach out if you would like to explore working together. We can have an initial conversation to see if it’s a good fit.

I’m here for the parents who aren't ready to give up hope, and for the teens and young adults who are clinging to life. Whether because of trauma, of neurodivergence (ADHD/ADD) or the need for a more gender-affirming world, life has been rocky. It’s been difficult to connect, sleep has been elusive, panic has been setting in and the future seems sort of bleak. At least that’s how it’s been, at least for right now. So you're looking for a therapist who gets it: your gender identity, your life experience and your inner knowing matter.

Have you noticed a sense of longing to feel more connected to your body, to the land, or in your relationships? Are you experiencing anxiety, grief, loneliness, or trauma? Trauma can live in the body as disrupted patterns of relating: to ourselves, our bodies, our breath, and the world around us. Somatic therapy is a practice in re-connecting to those things that remind us of our aliveness and can help us build a sense of home in our bodies and our world. This work is gentle, and centers the experience of the nervous system in therapy, drawing from arts, play, spirituality, compassion-focused and nature-based approaches.

Do you ever feel too overwhelmed to deal with your problems? Maybe you've been feeling depressed, stressed or anxious for a long time? Or you are grieving, have suffered trauma or have a short-term problem that you need assistance in navigating? Anytime your quality of life isn't where you want it to be, counselling can help. You may be reluctant to try psychotherapy or have tried but did not find a good fit? I am a firm believer that successful therapy is a collaborative relationship between the therapist and client. This relationship needs to be based in authenticity and hope - with the goals of leading effective change.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with 12 years of clinical experience. Working with children and youth is a specialization of mine but I also love working with adults. I am currently completing trauma training in Somatic Experiencing, which explores the mind-body connected and how stress gets stored in the body. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship issues. I use an integrative approach which incorporates a mind-body approach and is considerate of the latest neuroscience research. I describe myself as a client-centred, relational and strengths based therapist.

It can take a lot of courage to reach out! I hope you feel safe here. My work alongside individuals is compassionate, and engages the mind and body to move through the joys and challenges of life. Mental health issues such as anxiety can show up in our body through digestive problems/IBS, muscle tension, exhaustion, pain, headaches, etc., often related to or intensified by stress & trauma. Sessions include breathwork, mindfulness, the nervous system, attachment, somatic work, IFS, nature & cognitive strategies. I will support you with tools to help you cope with your experiences, relationships, regulate emotions & find balance.

I work with adults who want freedom from negative patterns and who want to get to the root of repetitive reactivity and triggers. They want calm and peace. They want help with healthy boundaries, anxiety, self-worth, depression, life direction, co-dependency, communication, addiction, relationships (with self, the Divine, life partner, ex-partner, children, family, co-workers), emotional regulation, grief, loss/divorce, chronic pain, parenting, spiritual growth and psychedelic integration. Carrying the past makes current life difficult. Helping clients accept the past, learn from it and then let it go is what I love doing best.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I specialize in a somatic (body-mind) approach to resolve issues that interfere with one's happiness and well being. We will look at how early life experiences affect us and our relationships. This helps in developing a greater understanding in how one behaves in their current life, creating more options for lasting change. This work is very effective in treating depression by helping one feel more aliveness, energy and a sense of well being.It helps with anxiety by providing tools to create a sense of calm and presence.

COVID-19 emotional help. I work using both somatic (body) as well as talk therapies (psycho dynamic). I find this combination to be more profound than just one modality. I bring extensive experience with mental illness and trauma. Like most therapists, I have several areas of practice in which I feel distinctly equipped to work. These include anxiety, depression, recovery from interpersonal trauma/ abuse, neglect, communication issues (for e.g. bosses, friends, partners. family members) stress of everyday life, grief, couple issues, childhood attachment issues, PTSD and dissociative disorders.

I understand psychic and emotional crises as your body’s best effort to cope with what it is experiencing. All of our behaviours and impulses make sense if we bring a warm curiosity to the bigger picture of your life, your body, your mind and your lived experience. I work to co-create a space where you new stories about yourself can emerge, stories that are more expansive, generous and allowing of what you have lived through. Whether you are working through addiction, compulsive behaviour and thinking, anxiety, depression, grief, ruptures or general existential confusion, I am here to hold it with you.

Stress, anxiety and depression can quickly take over our lives. This survival mode protects our authentic self yet, in the long term, creates disconnect and misery. I believe that we each have the innate ability to return to our authentic selves as we slowly re-connect to our body and change survival patterns. This belief drives me in collaborating with you to move into your own sense of aliveness. My genuine presence and sensitivity supports creating a safe space for you to start letting go of survival mode and try out a new way of being.

Currently accepting new clients. Are you seeking relief from persistent anxiety and the lingering weight of unresolved trauma while also yearning for a deeper spiritual connection and meaning in your life? In the midst of these struggles, the spiritual dimension often feels distant or obscured. This disconnection can be accompanied by overwhelming anxiety and the haunting echoes of past trauma, hindering your ability to navigate life authentically. Aligning choices with your soul's purpose becomes challenging under the weight of these emotional burdens, impacting relationships and personal growth.

I work with individuals to help you uncover your innate curiosity, compassion and clarity, in order to feel a greater sense of peace, presence and purpose in your life. We all deserve support in carving out our paths in life. Much of my experience lies in supporting individuals who are experiencing emotional/relational challenges, anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma. I support individuals of all ages, with special interest in working with young adults and new parents (pregnancy/postpartum) who are riding the waves of big life transitions, feeling stuck and exploring who they are. You don't have to navigate this alone!
