Jessica is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology. At the centre of Jessica’s approach to mental health counselling is the belief that every person has the potential to create a fulfilling and meaningful life when shown the empathy, understanding, and support integral to emotional healing. Jessica aims to create a judgment-free space for her clients to share their stories, explore and safely release emotions, and identify the personal strengths and values that will inform their goals for the future.

Jessica uses a mind-body approach to healing trauma that was inspired by her personal journey through chronic pain and eventual healing. In her early thirties, an autoimmune condition interrupted Jessica’s personal life and career, resulting in years of chronic pain and disability. While bedridden, Jessica sought education about how trauma gets stored in the body and participated in a neuroplasticity program. The program included a variety of emotional, cognitive, and somatic exercises focused at calming the nervous system, rewiring the brain, and stopping chronic physical symptoms. Now pain-free, Jessica dedicates her career to supporting and empowering clients on their individual paths to healing. Jessica’s integrative and client-centered approach incorporates a variety of techniques from ACT, CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing to address and ease the emotional, psychological, and physical effects of suffering.

An elementary and high school teacher for over ten years, Jessica brings her experience and passion for creating meaningful connections with children, teens, and adults into her counselling practice.
