We are all capable of growth. Is it time to uncover your deeper self and goals within an authentic, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship? Our sacred capacity evolves through the practice of self-compassion. It fosters our natural ability to make desired changes in our life. Together, let's uncover your unique values and strengths to work through life's challenging experiences. I've been there too! As Carl Rogers says "Life is about being and becoming". To me, this represents our ability to work with our past, current and future self. Acknowledging and witnessing your own story creates a deeper self-awareness.

Life has difficulties and challenges. Pain and suffering are an inevitable part of human existence. We can not run from it. We cannot hide from it. But we can learn to live with it, to rise above it, to transform it, and to find meaning in it. Wellness and human flourishing can exist in the presence of pain and suffering. Working from a meaning perspective, I believe that when people see their own unique value they are better equipped to overcome life’s challenges and start living life more fully.

Although I have such passion for supporting anyone seeking my services, my focus tends to be on women, women-identifying, and couples-related issues.
Stressed. Overwhelmed. Frustrated. Exhausted. Resentful. Do you identify with any of these feelings? If so, I'm glad you're here. It can be terribly difficult to know that we need change but not know where or how to begin. It can be helpful to have a trained, supportive, non-judgmental ear to cheerlead us on our path. That's what I can do! Hi, I'm Jenna.

I offer therapy for relationships and intimacy. It’s terrifying and heartbreaking to think that this may be the end of your relationship. There is distance and disconnection between you and your partner. You feel alone and desperate to reconnect but they feel so far away or you don’t even recognize them anymore. You feel more like roommates than partners, or you’ve been betrayed and no one can understand why you want to stay in this relationship. You want to be able to talk through issues but the conversations escalate quickly or your partner shuts down. You don’t know where things went wrong but something needs to change.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be your true authentic self? To be our true, authentic selves, is to know who we are, be compassionate with ourselves, and to live in our values and our truths. This is a goal of so many clients who seek therapy- to better understand themselves, and to be the best they can be. Therapy is a place to discover yourself, to heal from your past experiences and to grow through what you go through. Authenticity can only be built when safety is present, and that is why I strive to create a safe and strong relationship with all of my clients.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
