About Jennifer

You Can End the Struggle - Life Can Be Better

If you’re like most of my counselling clients, you have problems that you haven’t resolved despite endless attempts.

You might have endless relationship stress and conflict that leave you feeling unlovable.

You may worry a lot, have trouble sleeping, or feel “down in the dumps” on an ongoing basis.

Perhaps you have a traumatic past that seems to dictate your life. At times you feel destined to suffer.

The good news is – you are definitely NOT fated to suffer.

Counselling CAN turn your life around.

It may be hard to believe, but anyone can transform their struggles with a skilled, caring counsellor.

Working with me in counselling leads to:

  • Increased feelings of self-worth and self-confidence
  • Feeling more settled and experiencing more fulfillment
  • Healing grief, and have an enjoyable life while living with your loss
  • Creating more rewarding and nurturing relationships
  • Becoming more resilient to life’s challenges

Research Shows That the Quality of Your Relationship with Your Counsellor is Key to Resolving Your Problems

I am an experienced, authentic and compassionate counsellor. My focus is on providing a safe place for you to heal difficulties from your past so that you can move forward in your life with greater ease and enjoyment.

I know how important it is to feel deeply heard and understood for who you are. Profound and lasting healing occurs when you’re in a relationship with a counsellor who prioritizes the counsellor relationship above all else.

When you feel accepted for who you are, feelings of shame and not being “good enough” dissolve and create space for you to grow.

A Mind-Body Approach to Counselling Focusing on Psychology and Neuroscience

While a strong relationship with me is critical to your success in counselling, I also use proven tools, based on the latest brain-based research. 

We know that difficult experiences from our past become hard-wired in the brain. When these events are not healed, they continue to cause distress throughout your life – even when you’re unaware that this is happening.

I’m trained in evidence-based healing methods –
Mindfulness and Somatic Experiencing – that enable you to “unlock” the stress that is stuck in your nervous system, freeing you to become who you were meant to be.

You might be uncertain about whether you want to take the next step to enter counselling.

Any doubts you may have about counselling are understandable if you’ve been struggling for a long time without relief.

However, if you don’t take that first step to find out how I might help, you’ll never know what kind of life you could have.

To help you decide if I'm the right counsellor for you:

You can tell me about your problems and ask me any questions you may have.

Together, we'll then decide if we are a good fit.
