Individual Therapy | Couples Therapy | Accepting New Clients
Jennifer is a passionate psychotherapist who comes with an extensive background in counselling. Jennifer’s approach is humanistic and trauma-informed, offering a safe space for her clients to show up as their authentic selves.
Jennifer’s specialties include working with post-traumatic stress, complex grief, sexual dysfunction, intimacy issues and estranged relationships. With a special focus on gestalt therapy and psychoanalysis, she focuses on the person as a whole. Jennifer implements her modalities into her counselling to meet her clients' specific needs and works with individuals and couples. With an extensive understanding of the nervous system, Jennifer works with you to re-establish safety and regulation to imbalances that occur within major transitions of your life.
With over six years of experience in grief and trauma counselling, Jennifer has worked with complex grief (substance-related death, suicide-related grief, traumatic deaths) and has specialized in working with unresolved childhood issues, abandonment and estranged relationships. Working with both a humanistic and trauma-informed approach, Jennifer adapts this to working with sexual dysfunction, porn addiction and intimacy issues with both individuals and couples.
Using modalities in therapy such as EFT (Emotional-focused therapy), Gestalt Therapy and Psychodynamic Theory, Jennifer applies treatments with her clients depending on their counselling needs. With a non-judgmental and open-minded view, Jennifer is open to a holistic approach to healing in both mind and body.
