Being a teenager is tough. With pressures from school, parents, peers, and social media, it can feel like everyone is judging you. You might think, “I’m not smart enough,” “I’m not attractive enough,” or “Something is wrong with me!” If you feel overwhelmed by expectations and wish you didn’t care what others thought, you’re not alone. We’ve all been there and felt the same way. I help teens like you let go of these expectations and discover who they truly are and who they want to be. If you’re ready to stop trying to be liked by everyone else and start liking yourself so you can be yourself, you’re in the right place!

Thinking outside the box approach to traditional therapy, because no one individual fits neatly inside a box. Working together, using CBT and neurologic techniques to support you in your area or areas of need, music psychotherapy draws from traditional talk therapy while offering ways to move forward in who you are, both verbally and non-verbally. Using music offers a non-evasive and trusting medium within a clinical session and translates into a coping skill within everyday life. Please contact me for either Telehealth or in-person sessions.

As a passionate and dedicated psychotherapist specialized in working with individuals, families, children and teen, my journey in the field of mental health has been driven by the commitment to nurturing young minds and supporting them through their unique developmental challenges. My fascination with psychology began during my own adolescence when I faced personal challenges that really impacted my well-being. Through my struggles, I recognized the importance of having a supportive and understanding environment during this crucial stage of life.

Relationships are hard. Both with ourselves and with the people we love the most. I can help you with these issues to develop a healthy relationship with yourself (working through trauma, addiction, anxiety, etc), and others (developing boundaries, self-respect, and assertiveness). I dont just offer a listening ear, but provide consistent, authentic, and transparent feedback so that you know who you are in the world and develop a consciousness to thrive past your limitations.

I am here to empower you to grow into yourself. But, I'm also here to laugh, smile, and celebrate with you. Because even though the darkness might feel insurmountable, there are always glimmers and I want to help you find them.

We all need and deserve connection - connection to people, to purpose and, most importantly, to ourselves. In our busy lives, we sometimes bypass this need, or seek it out in relationships, activities and thinking patterns that leave us feeling anxious, exhausted and lonely. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, a life transition or a loss, I would love to walk with you to create a supportive environment for healing, growth and change.

Hi, I’m Jen! Are you a female with high-functioning anxiety or a trauma history? Outwardly, you seem okay, but beneath the surface, you may struggle with overwhelm, feeling on edge, overthinking, worrying, self-criticism, a nagging feeling of not being good enough, perfectionism, self-doubt, low self-confidence, not feeling able to enjoy the moment, and/or imposter syndrome? If you can relate to any of these concerns, I'm here to listen and help. I work with clients to help improve nervous system dysregulation caused by stress, trauma, or attachment wounds.

If working through life's challenges feels more overwhelming than staying stuck in your current situation, I would like to have the opportunity to help you navigate your way to a life worth living. Often negative thinking patterns and behaviours can influence our sense of self and impact on our family, work and school life. My goal in art psychotherapy is to assist you in discovering your potential while finding your internal voice. A client centered, anti-oppressive approach provides a safe and confidential environment to explore what matters most to you.

Positive Psychology Counsellors
How does positive psychology therapy work?
Positive psychology therapy derives from the work of Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania. He and others developed the field of positive psychology building on humanistic theory. Positive psychology therapy is similar to acceptance and commitment therapy, and it essentially quiets emotional distress through positivity, contentment, and well-being. This therapy does not reduce the individual to symptoms and conditions.
When do I know if I need treatment using positive psychology?
If an individual is overwhelmed by emotional distress and general negativity, they may feel trapped. A positive psychology therapist can help them view their emotions and behaviours differently, and approach life with a better understanding of their positive strengths. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from positive psychology therapy?
The patient may be asked to explore their signature strengths. The therapist will also ask the individual to talk about their goals, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Discussing negative experiences and symptoms is important, but so is the exploration of positive experiences. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more positive and fulfilling way. This therapy is proactive and may use forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and compassion to help reframe negativity.
Is positive psychology effective in therapy?
Positive psychology therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with eating disorders benefit from this type of intervention. This therapy encourages the person to reframe their distressed thoughts and move into healthier patterns of functioning. This therapy also aims to move an individual toward what works well in their life. Positive psychology therapy can elicit lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
