With a compassionate and empathetic approach, I support you as we work through challenges such as anxiety, low mood, trauma (PTSD), burnout, ADHD, emotional struggles, pet loss and grief, screen overuse, family or social conflicts, and spiritual awakening.
I utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Therapy (ST), and mindfulness-based strategies, customizing each approach to fit your individual needs. Together, we work towards lasting emotional well-being, personal growth, and healing.

Jen offers a safe, supportive space for teens ages 13-17 to openly express and explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. She guides them as they develop healthy coping skills, improve relationships, explore their goals, and build confidence. As they navigate their unique path, they are empowered to better understand themselves and their place in the world.
Anxiety can show up in many forms—irritability, constant worry, trouble concentrating, physical symptoms, and more. Overthinking can lead to sadness, self-consciousness, or hypervigilance, affecting many areas of your 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 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 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 new perspectives while gently releasing the impact of trauma from both mind and body.
You are not what happens to you, you are worthy.
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 the sources of burnout and helps you understand why they impact you, while guiding you in building practical tools to support healing.
Rest, recharge, recover, and be the source of your own success.
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 thought patterns, strengthen social skills, and promote a greater sense of balance.
Develop a sense of freedom as you as you move toward success.
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.
Experience freedom by mastering your emotions.
Grief after losing a pet can affect us 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 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.
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—with or without specific 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.
Spiritual awakening can bring a sense of connection to something greater. When your inner truth doesn’t align with outer experiences, it may create a feeling that something is out of sync.
Therapy may help you overcome feelings of disconnection, discover your true path, recognize the sense that there’s more to life, and fully embrace the peace available in the present moment.
The journey in life is largely the one within, when one awakens at the level of the mind, the true purpose of life becomes clear.
