Are you feeling stuck, distressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected? Have you experienced trauma? Do you ever feel a sense of “I’m not good enough”?

You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Supportive counselling helps facilitate change.

I work with individuals: adults, youth, and children (5 years+) of all genders and cultures, supporting with a range of diverse needs. The primary areas in counselling I support with are:

  • anxiety

  • depression

  • trauma, PTSD, & C-PTSD

  • intimate partner violence & other forms of abuse

  • life changes & transitions

  • attachment wounds

  • self-worth

  • emotion regulation

  • school & peer challenges

I practice from a relational, person-centered approach that integrates EMDR, mindfulness, emotion-focused therapy, CBT, parts work therapy/IFS, polyvagal theory, and somatic therapy. I also use expressive arts therapy (art, play, & sandtray therapy) in my work with children and youth.

Counselling helps us move through emotional distress and what feels “stuck.” It guides us on our journey of growth, change, healing, and movement towards what matters to us.

“Despite all our noble efforts to reach some treasured peak, we carry the summit within. And it is always the effort and exhaustion - the very journey itself - that opens the view which is everywhere.”

Hi, I’m Jenny

(she/her)

A warm welcome to you, thank you for being here.

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) approved by the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC), offering individual counselling to adults, youth, and children.

I’m available for in person sessions in Squamish and virtually to residents across BC.

I believe in your immense strengths and innate wisdom.

For nearly 5 years, I’ve supported individuals (primarily adult women) in healing emotional wounds and patterns pertaining to trauma. Empathy, genuineness, and non-judgment is at the foundation of what I do.

I’m here to walk alongside you in your unique healing and wellness journey. I bring evidence-based therapeutic approaches to my work, paired with a gentle, warm, compassionate, and supportive presence.

The mind, body, and spirit have an incredible capacity to heal.

The process of healing and growth looks different for everyone, and I respect the individuality, complexity, and variance of each person. Just as no two humans are exactly alike, therapy will look a little differently for each person, based on your unique history, needs, goals, and the therapeutic relationship. I’ll meet you where you’re at and work with you in a collaborative way in the orientation towards and process of what is meaningful, healing, and important to you.
