About Jennifer

“I believe therapy can give people the opportunity to discover, reclaim and cultivate their own unique strengths and resources, equipping them to navigate through life’s challenges.” I offer sessions in-person & virtually With Whom? Individual Adults Children & Youth Indigenous Adults & Youth LGBTQ2S+ Areas of Practice: Depression and Anxiety Processing Trauma Sexual Abuse and Assault Grief and Loss Identity Exploration Reconnecting to the Creative Self Life Transitions and Crises Victims of Crime My priority is to create a safe, non-judgemental space where you feel comfortable exploring the unknown within a supportive relationship. Whether you are on a healing journey, building your tools and coping skills, exploring emotions, or processing trauma, we can work together using a variety of counselling techniques. As a BC Registered Clinical Counsellor, I use an approach that validates your life experiences, honours you as the expert of your own history, and focuses on your strengths. I centre the counselling process around building a strong, supportive relationship, and I integrate mindfulness techniques to help you navigate challenges. Together, we will explore what type of support best meets your needs and goals to guide our work. Our sessions might include exploring new ways to understand and relate to the past, examining life patterns, uncovering new perspectives and facets of yourself, moving toward daily nourishment, or strengthening your ability to access inner resources. In addition to more traditional talk therapy, you will also have the option to try Expressive Arts Therapy if it is something you are interested in. Expressive Arts Therapy explores content coming up in sessions by inviting the imagination and the senses into the process. Working in this experiential way can also provide a safe container for accessing difficult emotions or past traumas. No arts experience is required, and simplicity is celebrated in this way of working.
