Welcome! I’m Jackie,

Hi there, and welcome. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. Choosing a therapist that is a good fit and a space that feels comfortable is so important when working through life’s difficulties.  What I often see in client consultations and first appointments is some anxiety related to not knowing what to expect, paired with relief  about having taken a step toward addressing issues that are negatively impacting day-to-day life.  If you are feeling anxious at the thought of beginning therapy, you are not alone and I’m here for it. There may be tears, there may be laughs, there will be hard things, there will be great moments, and most importantly, there will be change. 

 

I am an MSW and my favorite thing about being a psychotherapist is finding creative ways to enhance mental and emotional wellness. I enjoy cooking, yoga, reading, and gardening. I love to learn. I work with adults living with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, communication struggles, grief & loss, body image challenges, self-doubt, or just general feelings of “something isn’t right with me”. 

 

My structured approach recognizes your emotions while offering practical strategies to help you manage your emotional and mental wellness. I use elements of solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT),  Walk and Talk Therapy, and mindfulness practices. My approach is trauma informed, and we will move forward at your pace. 

 

I aim to create a place where you can feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self, where I will show up as my authentic self, relating as human beings. You are more than your current stressors. You deserve kindness and support while you work towards your goals. If you would like to chat, we can set up an initial no-fee consultation.
