Jenna works with you to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. Her warm and empathetic demeanour encourages you to tell your story. She also brings a holistic, spiritual, and culturally sensitive approach to therapy in an anti-oppressive space. Jenna uses a mix of strength-based therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Jenna uses psychoeducation to help you build a coping toolbox and move toward personal growth and change.

Jenna brings her true self to therapy. She thoughtfully draws on her own challenges of being in a biracial relationship and creating a culturally affirming environment for her children of Caribbean and Indigenous descent. In her spare time, Jenna enjoys dog grooming her champion-sired Biro and Biewer Yorkshire Terriers. She prioritizes mental wellness through journalling, restorative yoga, guided meditation, and playfully spending time with her family and pets.
