***Virtual Care only***

Hello, my name is Jennifer and for the last 10 years, I have had the opportunity to work as a Registered Nurse in both a hospital and community setting to support individuals and families of varying ages, from child to senior.

I use a holistic approach to guide me as I understand the importance of looking at the whole person, and how physical health and mental health can be impacted by each other.  I utilize techniques from a variety of therapy styles, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, mindfulness, attachment therapy, trauma informed care, and emotion focused therapy.

I  am experienced in providing intensive case management, care coordination, system navigation, advocacy, crisis intervention and psychotherapy.  I am also trained in providing care and guidance with addiction, anxiety, ADHD, autism, dementia, depression, family conflict, grief, personality disorders, and trauma.

My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space for people to process their emotions, to help them develop their emotional intelligence and  learn coping skills to help manage life’s challenges.
