“In therapy, I began to feel a growing calmness and a hopefulness about my future. I had more confidence and was more willing to be honest with myself and those around me. I had more energy and was more engaged in my life.

As therapy continued, the pace of recovery became more rapid and intense, and my family started to see I was improving.

I am grateful for the intervention of the EMDR therapy and feel that no matter where my future lies, that I will have a more solid, balanced, and healthier footing.*”

Struggling with intrusive thoughts, nightmares, or flashbacks due to a disturbing event?

EMDR is a proven therapy for resolving problems related to a traumatic event. You can be free of disturbing thoughts and feelings. You can have more energy and sleep peacefully.

Anxiety is treatable. I use scientifically proven methods of therapy such as EMDR.

Anxiety counselling can help you feel calmer and more in control. You can enjoy living more in the present, instead of worrying about the past or future.

Are you living with depression where you feel sad, numb, or that life is meaningless?

I use research-backed methods to help relieve the symptoms of depression.

Therapy can lift the cloud of despair. Your life can take on new meaning. You can feel more motivated and enjoy your life again.

“When I entered therapy with Douglas, I was consumed with anxiety that was interfering with my life. I suffered from sleeplessness and struggled to work fulltime. I was filled with worries. I worried about spending time away from my family and scared to talk about what was happening for me, even with my husband and this created distance between us. At first, therapy felt like a black box. I didn’t understand what was happening but I decided to trust the process.

Therapy helped me learn to trust someone with the parts of my life I had never talked about before. Douglas listened with kindness and respect and this was crucial for me. He had a high degree of professionalism and was very focused with me. Therapy helped me acknowledge what had happened to me in the past and the impact it had on my day to day life. Just talking about my past out loud was cathartic.

It was important that Douglas validated these experiences, which allowed me to look forward and feel hopeful that I could heal it. Today I am free from anxiety! The challenges I had in my past are not bothering me anymore. It doesn’t impact my decisions or relationships and I am able to work and travel without worry. I feel a lot of freedom and have more confidence. I enjoy my time with my family and my relationship with my husband has improved a lot. We now have ways to communicate effectively when there is tension between us.” – R. E. Winnipeg, Manitoba

As a trauma-informed therapist certified in EMDR, I help people heal from deep-rooted struggles and trauma that they’ve been unable to overcome on their own.

Many of my clients have been to therapists before but were unable to get the relief they were hoping to receive.

My extensive experience and training as a therapist helps to ensure that my clients get the help that they need.

For over 30 years, I’ve been successfully helping people who are:

Struggling with distressing or traumatic event(s) as a child or in adulthood.

Hurting in relationships, either in a current one or from past ones.

"My self-awareness and self-acceptance have grown tremendously. In Jenna, I have found someone who consistently offers me a different way of looking at my life and this has been very liberating for me. I have shed the belief that my self-perceptions are fixed (or even true) and I now see that these can be changed into healthier, more empowering attitudes. Finally, and most importantly, I can be vulnerable with Jenna because she makes me feel safe, comfortable, and not judged."

"My journey to self discovery with Jenna began the moment she did her introduction call with me. In that moment she was honest, supportive and cut through the mask. . The therapy she has provided me gave me the strength to acknowledge the tools I did not have and brave enough to learn them - then use them. Without her guidance I am not sure I would have made it through that difficult time in my life nor be flourishing as much as I am in my current life. Weather you are curious about knowing yourself better, going through a break up or do not know where to start but know you need guidance, she is the person you can trust to get you there with zero judgement. As Jenna puts it - she gets "in the mud" with you. - Thank you Jenna."
