Feelings outside the thought

Evidence-Based Psychotherapy Services

I take a compassionate and grounded approach, supporting people in demanding roles who are navigating stress, burnout, and emotional overload, as well as those who want to stay ahead of stress before it becomes more difficult to manage. Many people come to me for anxiety, low mood, trauma, PTSD, burnout, ADHD, grief, emotional struggles, relationship or family conflict, and feeling disconnected from meaning or purpose.


Therapy offers a space to pause, process, and make sense of what you are carrying, helping you feel more grounded, understood, and supported as you build resilience and move toward a calmer, more confident way of living. I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Therapy, and mindfulness based approaches, tailoring each session to your needs and what feels most helpful. Together, we work toward lasting emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and meaningful change.

Jen supports adults with demanding responsibilities who want to address stress before it becomes overwhelming. In high-pressure environments, stress can build gradually. Talking with Jen offers space to recognize early signs, strengthen coping strategies, and maintain emotional balance, building resilience and healthier ways to manage work and life.

Anxiety

Trauma (PTSD)
Low Mood

Anxiety can show up in many forms, including irritability, constant worry, trouble concentrating, and physical symptoms. Overthinking can lead to sadness, self-consciousness, or hypervigilance, affecting many areas of life.


Therapy may help you uncover the root cause of your struggles, develop coping skills, and enhance your emotional well-being.


Release the hold of fear and embrace a new serenity.

Low Mood

Trauma (PTSD)
Low Mood

Low mood can include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, low self-worth, and lack of motivation. Struggling to make decisions or feeling stuck may lead to guilt and make everyday life feel overwhelming.


Therapy helps you recognize your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours so you can build strategies that encourage positive change.


There is always hope, sadness does not define you.

Trauma (PTSD)

Trauma (PTSD)
Trauma (PTSD)

Trauma can appear as panic, distress, sleep disturbances, irritability, fatigue, or other emotional and physical symptoms. Whether from a single event or ongoing experiences, past or present, many people carry some form of trauma.


Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore your experiences, develop new perspectives, and work toward understanding and managing the effects of trauma.


You are not what happens to you, you are worthy.

Burnout

Emotional Challenges
Burnout

Burnout can result from ongoing stress and may include exhaustion, emotional fatigue, strained relationships, or a sense of emptiness. It can stem from work, caregiving, or any situation that feels persistently overwhelming.


Therapy gently explores sources of burnout and helps you understand why they impact you, while guiding you in building practical tools to support  healing.


You deserve space to rest, recover, and find a healthier balance.

ADHD

Emotional Challenges
Burnout

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can involve inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and emotional difficulties. Symptoms may include trouble focusing, forgetfulness, and distraction, along with challenges in social situations and self-esteem.


Therapy can help shift your thought patterns, strengthen social skills, and promote a greater sense of balance.


Build confidence and find strategies that help you thrive.

Emotional Challenges

Emotional Challenges
Emotional Challenges

Emotional challenges can show up in many forms, feeling sad, angry, or drained, or appearing distracted, reactive, or critical. People who often experience conflict may withdraw, act out, or behave impulsively.


Therapy can support emotional processing, foster social skill development, encourage responsiveness, and promote new ways of seeing things.


Understand your emotions and discover healthier ways to respond.

Grief

Family/Social Group Conflict
Screen Overuse

Grief from work in high stress or emotionally demanding professions can affect people mentally, physically, and emotionally. It may bring changes in sleep, appetite, or energy, along with feelings like anger, denial, or sadness. This grief can feel deeply overwhelming.


Therapy offers a quiet, supportive space to help you process loss, untangle complex emotions, and make sense of your experience as you move through grief in a healthy way.


While the past cannot be changed, learn to manage the grief that comes with loss.

Screen Overuse

Family/Social Group Conflict
Screen Overuse

Screen overuse refers to spending excessive time on devices like phones, TVs, video games, or other screens. It can lead to issues such as anxiety, irritability, and reduced social connection.


Therapy can guide you in understanding the issue by noticing habits, creating space for rest, trying new activities, and finding balance through conversation and support.


Be in charge of screens so they are not in charge of you.

Family/Social Group Conflict

Family/Social Group Conflict
Family/Social Group Conflict

Conflict or disconnection with someone you were once close to can bring feelings of rejection, loss of purpose, difficulty communicating, or fear of further hurt.


Therapy may help you better understand your situation, cultivate acceptance, and regulate your nervous system as you set boundaries and navigate challenging relationships with friends, family members, or social groups.


One’s greatest strength may be letting go of people you thought would be with you for a lifetime.

Sunset over water

Finding Meaning

Working in high-stress professions can lead to feelings of disconnection or doubts about whether your efforts truly matter, creating tension and a sense that something is missing.


Therapy can help you explore what matters most, make sense of your experiences, and uncover a clearer sense of purpose and fulfillment.


Sometimes, finding your way forward begins with understanding yourself more deeply.
