Jennifer is a Registered Clinical Counsellor who is passionate about working with people.  She has worked in various social service settings, including non-profit agencies, health authorities, and private practice offices.  She has experience providing individual counselling, couples counselling, as well as facilitating group therapy and workshops.  For years, Jennifer has been supporting individuals with issues such as mental health concerns; self-esteem; relationships; stress; communication; drug & alcohol addiction; codependency; identifying & managing emotions; abuse; grief & loss; boundaries; and trauma.

Jennifer works collaboratively with each client to tailor therapy to their unique needs.  She strives to provide a compassionate, accepting, and non-judgmental space for her clients to work through their concerns.  When working with Jennifer, you will experience empathy and a deep respect for your journey.  Her approach considers the following aspects of your life: emotional, physical, spiritual, psychological, and social, as each of these areas of one’s life affects each other.  She loves to connect with people of all walks of life.

No issue is too big or too small; whatever is bringing you to counselling, it is valid and it can be addressed.  During the first few sessions, goal setting will determine the direction of future sessions.  Working with a skilled therapist can lead to greater insight, self-reflection, skill development, crisis resolution, and personal growth.  Therapy can assist in identifying and clarifying what might be creating a sense of being stuck, discontent, or disconnected, and this process can lead to making lasting changes to improve overall your well-being and function.  Counselling is a process and an investment in yourself.  This process can help you to feel more whole, at peace, healthier, and happier.

Jennifer’s core values include integrity, authenticity, respect, persistence, compassion, connection, humour, growth, creativity, health, kindness, and adventure.  She lives and practices these values in her daily life.  She considers it a privilege to be part of your journey of self-awareness, learning, growth, and change.  Aside from her work as a clinical counsellor, Jennifer enjoys spending time in nature, reading, cooking, exploring the world, and spending time with family & friends.
