I am passionate about helping people simplify their nutrition goals and create lasting change. Restoring our relationship with food is one of the most powerful things we can do in regards to our diet. I love working with my clients to view food as a positive part of our life, not as something to be feared or controlled. Being a shift working family, I am especially passionate about helping shift workers and their families increase their energy and improve their health through practical-evidence based strategies.

“People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering” – St. Augustine

I welcome the opportunity and privilege to walk with people through their journey of healing and growth. I believe that there is a time in our life where reaching out is the hardest but bravest step. In building a safe and trusting relationship with my clients, it allows them to take this step with confidence.

I am currently a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. I have a specific interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), but believe in an integrative approach, as each client is unique. I believe that in spite of difficult thoughts, feelings, and emotions, people deserve to and can live a full and meaningful life.

Jessa is a Registered Massage Therapist with over 23 years of experience in the industry! She uses an integrative approach to healing with modalities that include cupping, certified myoskeletal alignment techniques, micro point stimulation, and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). VNS can be added on to every single massage. Further, VNS is a tool to help bring the nervous system into the parasympathetic system, where the body can then begin to repair itself. This tool is wonderful for helping people heal from trauma, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), mental health triggers, anxiety, edocrine issues, COVID long haul issues, and so much more.

I moved to Alberta with my family from the United Kingdom in 2016 and retrained as a psychologist after many years of home educating 3 children. I love working with clients to find solutions which allow them to thrive, and I do so through a trauma-informed approach, which emphasizes non-judgmental support and strengths-based approaches. I believe that we all have a unique story, and that meeting our inherent need to be heard and accepted is an important step in finding peace.

I specifically love working with neurodiverse clients and their families, and I believe wholeheartedly that when we prioritize a deeper understanding of one another, we can create a safe place for growth in emotional regulation skills which extend beyond the family.

The nature of human existence is that no matter how hard one endeavours to avoid difficulties, everyone will experience challenging times, thoughts, feelings, emotions and pain. Through this reality, I feel that people can embrace their inner wisdom and cultivate the life they hope to live despite the broad range of human emotions we must all navigate. By identifying one’s inner strengths to engage in life meaningfully, people can experience a more intentional and richer existence, fulfilling their innate desire to live their best life even when they face hardships.

Having practiced Massage therapy since 2016, I’ve learned that everyone can use some relief. In order to get this breathing room, I believe a healthy body houses a healthy mind. Working with a variety of cases, I’ve fallen in love with helping people get back to themselves. Communication is always paramount as we work together to solve your concerns. I’ve worked in clinics and chiropractic offices over the years, expanding my skills and knowledge of the human body.

I am excited to join the Family Life Psychology assessment team! I have been completing psychoeducational assessments for over 10 years, both in schools and in private practice, and with individuals of all ages. I love using standardized assessment tools to learn more about each individual’s learning and emotional/behavioural profile, and getting to know each client in our assessment sessions. I believe in making evidence-based recommendations to support each individual’s learning needs, but I am also focused on practical strategies to make everyday life a little easier.

My passion for helping others started with working in homeless shelters. This experience instilled a passion to hear people’s stories and recognize each person as unique and valuable.

One of the most difficult times that has shaped much of my journey as a therapist is my own journey being diagnosed with a critical illness near the end of my graduate training in 2014. This was one of those phone calls that I would have never imagined. It is through this challenging circumstance I was able to grow as an individual in walking through my own journey of healing, benefitting from some of the same evidence based practices I can now use to help others. I believe that it has helped me to gain insight into how it may feel to have life throw you a curve ball that you didn’t expect and the challenges of re organizing the self-afterwards.

I am passionate about being able to provide a safe, inclusive and non-judgemental space for clients to have their stories heard and therapeutic journey supported in order to become their authentic selves. The opportunity to walk alongside client’s journeys is a true privilege and I view life and counselling with the perspective that many events, thoughts, feelings and behaviours contribute to who we are and how we interact within the world. By providing clients with unconditional positive regard, empathy, trust and warmth, we can form a therapeutic alliance and collaboratively work together to explore challenges that may arise, rediscover strengths, release potential and work towards positive change and growth. I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your unique story! I have experience working with children and adolescence with complex mental health needs and developmental disabilities for several years within educational and community settings. Additionally, I have experience facilitating social skills groups for children, adolescents and whole classrooms. Furthermore, I also have experience conducting psychoeducational assessments.

I believe in an integrative approach to counselling as each client is unique. My first priority in session is creating a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship with each client and getting to know them and their unique journey. From there, in practice, I am client-centered and collaborative, utilizing a variety of techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness in order to best meet the needs of my clients. It is inevitable that difficult situations, thoughts and emotions may arise in life, however, when we learn to process and accept these parts of our stories, we can live a full and meaningful life. I am a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist and I have also received additional training in CBT, Play Therapy techniques, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Level 1 and 2, Somatic Approach to trauma and Non-Violent Crisis Intervention (NVCI).
