Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

We put a lot on ourselves, we try to fit ourselves into boxes or stretch ourselves beyond our limits. Be the perfect person, child, student, sibling, friend, employee, partner, spouse, and the list goes on and on. Sound familiar? It's exhausting isn't it? We're not perfect (we can't be!), and not only that but the world is so complex and hard to deal with! Embracing our contradictions is part of what makes us beautifully human. Let me offer you a reprieve, a chance to unburden yourself and find solace with where you are on your journey through this chaotic world we have.

Have you reached a point in your life where you just can't seem to find that happy spark anymore? Do you feel unmotivated and not sure what to do about it? It's not unusual to feel like you are just existing day to day - whether at school, at work, with your partner, or even parenting your children. We all get stuck in a spot of feeling undervalued and overwhelmed and this is more common now than ever before.

Hello! I am Jenni Evans (she/her). I am a queer, cis-gendered settler and am a Master of Social Work Student. I am currently developing a therapeutic practice aimed at supporting individuals, couples and families as they navigate the challenges of relationships, being in community, survival under capitalism and the quest for meaning in their lives. I practice with a critical lens, which means I practice in a way that acknowledges and validates the systemic challenges (all of the “isms”) people face which can live alongside or completely dominate the emotional, mental, and spiritual challenges we are working to overcome.

Our lives are filled with many challenges and often we find ourselves at a crossroads. The journey, rather than the destination, provides the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop towards the goals we hope to achieve. Often, we need someone to witness our life story and walk alongside us to recognize our personal strength and resiliency. As a practitioner, I hope to collaborate with you to make meaningful, sustainable changes in your life. This may include learning new coping skills, processing difficult life events, or increasing self-awareness.

My passion is helping people to transform destructive day-to-day patterns into meaningful lives of connection, presence, and joy. My specialties include trauma-related issues, relationship issues, anxiety, self-confidence, grief, anger, depression, and the search for meaning.

I have learned over the years that no matter how battered, degraded, or hopeless you may feel, transformation is always possible.
