Meet Jessica

Jessica supports new mothers navigating the emotional whirlwind of early parenthood, including low mood, anxiety, and a loss of identity. She’s especially passionate about working with moms who appear to be “holding it all together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed or unseen on the inside. Jessica’s goal is to help you feel more like yourself again—confident, grounded, and emotionally supported—as you redefine who you are beyond your role as a parent.

Sessions with Jessica feel like a calm space where you can breathe and speak freely. She creates a compassionate and collaborative environment where your voice matters most. Jessica knows that you're the expert on your own life and works with you to shape sessions that actually meet your needs. Her style is open and conversational, with a solution-focused mindset that helps you move forward when you're feeling stuck.

Outside the therapy room, Jessica recharges by spending time with her daughter, partner, and dog. Jessica is a bookworm at heart and loves the challenge of a good puzzle. Always up for something new, she’s all ears for your favourite recipe, go-to campground, or top travel tip.

Q&A

What is your favourite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?
During the summer you can catch me outside in my hammock, iced coffee in one hand and a good book in the other. I like to take time on Sundays to recharge and reconnect with myself!
If you could change professions for one day, what would you choose?
A wildlife photographer! Combining travel and creativity sounds like a dream.
Are you a paw-rent? Who’s the furry (or scaly!) friend running your household?
Miller is a Bernedoodle, who even at the age of two is still a puppy at heart! He is full of personality and is always willing to join me on adventures and is equally as happy to snuggle up. One of my favourite perks of working from home is having him as my “co-worker”
