About Me
Welcome, I'm Jessica. Ever since I can remember, I have had a deep passion for helping others understand their innermost thoughts and emotions to help them express themselves and feel seen. A lot of this passion stemmed from my own experience with battling a lifelong chronic illness, which lead me to develop a deep knowledge and appreciation into the power of therapy and moving toward inner healing. Using my experience and knowledge, I adapt my therapeutic approach to the individual needs of my clients. I use a person centered approach that encompasses elements that stem from self-compassion, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Adlerian, as well as narrative and mindfulness based techniques.
​
I completed an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at Carleton University and later received my Masters degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Ottawa. I am both a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and I am currently a Registered Psychotherapist License# 009695 with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
Currently I am working with clients in private practice over the phone and virtually using video calling.
​
Outside of therapy you can find me running around after my mischievous little Shih Tzu, watching all the movies, diving into Netflix, singing, listening to music, or snuggled up with a good book and cozy blanket. I'd love to get to know you.

My private practice is supervised by:
