Jessica is a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student who brings warmth, curiosity, and deep empathy to her counselling work. From a young age, she has been fascinated by how people think, feel, and make meaning of their experiences, and she is deeply committed to understanding and supporting others in a respectful and compassionate way.
Jessica practices from a trauma-informed lens and is intentional about creating a welcoming, safe, and supportive space where connection, healing, and growth can unfold. Clients can expect to meet someone who is genuine, curious, and attuned, offering personalized support that honours each person’s unique experiences and needs. She walks alongside clients as they navigate what brings them to counselling, holding space with care and respect.
Her therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each client, drawing from narrative therapy to explore personal stories, person-centred therapy to centre the therapeutic relationship, and solution-focused therapy to highlight strengths and practical pathways forward. Jessica supports clients with a range of concerns, including identity exploration, life transitions, emotional regulation, and relational challenges.
Jessica is proud to be an Indigenous individual who is Métis with Cree ancestry on her mother’s side. She values living and practicing in alignment with the Seven Sacred Values — respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility, truth, and love — which guide both her personal life and clinical work.
