A Bit About Me


Hi, I'm Jessica!  I'm a counselling psychologist in Avonport, Nova Scotia.  I work with individual adults experiencing a range of concerns to help them move toward a richer, fuller, and more meaningful life.  I also work with couples to improve communication, connection, and satisfaction within their relationships.  I approach each client and situation with genuine curiosity and compassion, within a non-judgmental space.  I view my role as a guide walking alongside clients in their healing journeys.

I have spent most of my life in the Yukon, but I've also lived in Ontario, BC, the USA, the Middle East, and now I'm delighted to live in Nova Scotia.  I love to travel and experience new cultures!  I'm also an animal lover and have two fantastic dogs, both adopted from the Yukon animal shelter.  I am a feminist who stands for equal rights, animal rights, justice, diversity, accountability, integrity, and anti-oppression.
