Hello! My name is Jen (they/she). I am a Registered Psychotherapist and have been in private practice since 2016. I currently operate out of The Space Within in Stratford, Ontario, as well as online.
I help people learn about themselves, gain perspective, and build skills that work for them. I strive to make clients feel safe and supported. My office is a place where clients can process information, try coping strategies, and express themselves either in person or virtually.
I focus on helping others live a life that is meaningful to them. Many people come to me for help with: communication issues, emotional regulation, executive dysfunction, grief, life satisfaction, mood disorders, negative self-talk, neurodivergent related topics, trauma and 2SLGBTQ+ related topics.
I use a “tool box” approach, drawing on different theories, models, and practices to customize each client’s experiences, to meet their needs, and to give them an authentic experience.
My practice is informed in trauma, consensual non-monogamy, disability justice, and religious trauma. As well as queer, gender, and neurodivergent affirming.
I earned my Masters of Arts in Theology: Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy from Wilfrid Laurier University. And I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor from the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
I’m from out East, but lived out West and overseas as well. I’m queer, neurodivergent, fat, and non-binary. On top of my MA in psychotherapy, I have a BA in Fashion Design, and a B.Ed. I have worked a wide range of jobs and volunteer positions over the years. My experiences help me connect with clients on many levels. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
