About Jennifer

I have a passion and great respect for the uniqueness and individuality of each client. I trust in your ability to heal and I am honoured to be a witness and guide in this process – the real work occurs within you. I have a gentle and calm nature but am skilled at compassionately challenging you towards growth and change. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (Level II – complex trauma), and I also bring depth to the counselling room with over 15 years of experience in health care as a Registered Pharmacist.
My approach is very client-centred – I like to provide a mixture of practical tools/strategies with some of the following. I am trained in Compassionate Inquiry under Dr. Gabor Mate; it is a therapy aimed at liberating oneself in the present from the subconscious emotional triggers of the past. I incorporate Polyvagal Theory into my sessions which helps one understand their nervous system and how to re-pattern it towards safety and connection. I am certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy for chronic pain. And I utilize the Emotional Freedom Technique for trauma processing, anxiety, stress, anger management, and pain.
I would love to hear your story. I invite you to book a free consultation to see if we would work well together. I am inclusive, sex-positive, and offer a welcoming and safe space for all sexual orientations, gender identities and body types.
