Jessica brings 10 years of psychotherapy, counselling, and supportive services granted through a wide variety of clinical environments. Beginning into this field, Jessica wanted to be involved in many different environments in order to bring a wealth of experiences to clients. Some of these experiences include hospitals, social service agencies, child mental health organizations, residential treatment facilities, provincial correctional institutions, school boards, and private practice.
Jessica finds it helpful to know about her clients, so in turn she would like to share some details of herself and her motivations for wanting to work in this field. "Hi Friends, I have always had a fascination for learning everything psychology at the start of my academic career, the brain, consciousness, behaviour, trauma, addictions, and even those complicated things we call emotions! As I progressed from my undergraduate degree in Psychology and decided to advance my learning with a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology, a different fascination came about. The ability to help another person through trauma, challenge, sadness, or worry became a focal point for me. To meet someone where they are at, validate and respect their past and their story, and have that person trust in my ability to help them, is something I can only describe as humbling and an absolute honour. When I am working alongside the client's that choose me as their psychotherapist, I like to refer to myself as the expert in putting the pieces of the puzzle together. The client is the expert in their life, their narrative, I am just the person that can see where everything fits and what pieces need to be rearranged to achieve their idea of wellness." As a trained mental health professional, Jessica obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Jessica is currently working towards a doctorate degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy. Also, as a registered psychotherapist, she adheres to the rigorous standards outlined by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. Jessica is also a registered general member in good standing with the OAMHP. Contact Rewriting Your Narrative today if you are ready to rewrite your story and reclaim your life! |

Here is a bio from Jessica "I have a Master's of Counselling Psychology and am a Registered Psychotherapist under the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have previously worked for a family service agency, a multi-site non-profit counselling agency and another private practice. I feel deeply privileged to be able to offer clients a safe space to process, heal, and grow and I'm always in awe of the amazing courage and resilience I witness. " I work from a strengths-based stance, believing that the client is the expert on him or herself and already has the capacity for significant growth and healing. I use a number of different modalities in my work, matching various techniques and ideas to the needs of my clients and asking for feedback on what is working for them and what isn’t. I love to read and regularly do further research on issues my clients are facing. Recent influences have been Terrence Real, Harriet Lerner and Brené Brown. I am looking forward to pursuing training in Terrence Real’s Relational Life Therapy this year and hope to pursue EMDR training in the future." |
