hey there!

I’M JESSICA

REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

I am a Registered Psychologist dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and expertise. With a passion for helping people lead more fulfilling, balanced lives, A few areas I specialize in are anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma recovery, pre and post-natal care.

My approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based practices, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that therapy is not just about overcoming difficulties but also about gaining deeper self-awareness, improving emotional well-being, and unlocking your potential for growth and happiness.

Whether you’re facing specific challenges or seeking personal development, my goal is to walk alongside you as a supportive guide, helping you navigate through tough times and discover lasting solutions. Each therapy journey is unique, and I am committed to tailoring our sessions to meet your individual needs and goals.

I invite you to take the first step toward positive change today. Together, we can build a path to healing, resilience, and greater self-understanding.

YOUR PATH TO personal growth and development

I’m here to help you on

As a Registered Psychologist and a devoted mother to my beautiful little girls, I have my own lived experience of both trauma and an eating disorder, and this has only fed my desire to help those who may be experiencing their own challenges, as I am aware that therapy has the power to change one’s life for the better.

Does life feel out of control at times?

Things might have been going well until something threw you off track, whether it was a break-up, the loss of someone close, or health issues.

It could be that work and life have piled up, leaving you feeling anxious, drained, and burnt out.

You may find it hard to open up about your true feelings to those around you.

You’ve chosen to seek emotional support from a professional but feel uncertain about who or what approach would be the best fit for you.

“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you go; they merely determine where you start.” - Dr. Lauren Fogel Mercy
