 Do you want to transform your life by creating meaningful change and living in a way you feel proud of? Are you feeling stuck, stressed, anxious, depressed, recovering from childhood trauma, relationship issues, wanting to make a career change, transition or set new goals? You’ve come to the right place. I use an outcome-focused, integrative, goal-oriented and intentional approach tailored to each individual I work with. The work often integrates EMDR therapy, IFS therapy, CBT, DBT, narrative, mindfulness, strengths-based therapy, ACT, and Gestalt techniques. My goal is to create a safe, warm, non-judgmental and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. 

You will feel encouraged in a client-centered approach and provided with breakthrough insights along the way. You are an expert on your life and as a person are creative, resourceful, and whole. My role is simply to undertake this journey beside you and facilitate you to unlock your best in whatever situation you are in.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Canadian Certified Counsellor holding a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and committed to ongoing learning. I have 1500+ hours of clinical experience with clients with a variety of mental health concerns. If you need a space that is trauma-informed, neurodiversity affirming, LGBTQ affirming, client-centered, with cultural sensitivity, unconditional positive regard, and respect, this is your space. Feel free to book a FREE initial call. Can’t wait to connect with you! More Than Just My Work Outside of the therapy room, I love spending time reading about philosophy and psychology, singing, going on long drives and visiting cafes. I bring my full, human self to this work and am genuinely invested in helping you live a life you are proud of. 

Jessica is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) who believes healing unfolds when people are supported in reconnecting with their whole selves. She creates a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed environment where clients have space to gently explore life’s challenges with curiosity and compassion. With a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a background in kinesiology, yoga therapy, and integrative mental health, Jessica brings a uniquely holistic perspective to psychotherapy. Her work thoughtfully weaves contemporary psychotherapy with the therapeutic principles and practices of yoga, honouring the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, and lived experience. 

She is also trained in Observed Experiential Integration (OEI), a brain-based, somatic modality for trauma processing that complements her work with clients experiencing trauma and nervous system dysregulation. Recognizing that every client is unique, Jessica tailors therapy to the individual, drawing from psychotherapy and yoga therapy in ways that honour each person’s needs, pace, and readiness. Sessions may be entirely conversational or, when appropriate, incorporate experiential practices that invite clients to engage through reflection and direct experience, fostering deeper awareness, integration, and meaningful transformation. 

These practices are always adapted to each person’s comfort and preferences. 

Jessica currently offers individual counselling for adults (18+) navigating a wide range of life experiences and mental health concerns and is passionate about helping clients cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience, and embodied well-being. She believes therapy is not about fixing people, but about creating the conditions for healing, growth, and living with greater integrity, authenticity, connection, and purpose. 

Finding the right therapeutic relationship matters. Jessica is happy to offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to answer questions, hear a little about what has brought you to this point, and explore whether working together feels like the right fit. Jessica’s services may be eligible for coverage under counselling and/or kinesiology benefits, depending on your extended health plan. 

MA Psychology, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor ( RTC-ACCT), Clinical Counselling, Hypnotherapist ( C.HypTM – Trauma Specialist)

My personal and professional guiding philosophy is simple: Spreading smiles.

If our paths cross, my intention is to facilitate a collaborative space for counselling and healing so that you can confidently take charge of your life. While therapy does not offer guaranteed overnight fixes, I believe that by working together, we can help relieve your

distress and bring a genuine sense of joy back into your days.I have been in this field for over two decades—working in hospitals, schools, and managing my own mental wellness clinic in India, before establishing my practice here in Canada. Through it all, my deep reverence for the human spirit has remained unchanged. I am genuinely curious about the hidden layers of our experiences: the subconscious patterns, the stored somatic energy, and what becomes possible when

we finally bridge the gap between the mind, body, and soul.

I help you understand and together we gently explore the root cause of your current challenges. By navigating these underlying patterns together, you can release stored physical tension and create profound, lasting peace. First and foremost, I am firmly rooted in evidence-based clinical approaches and committed to solution-focused outcomes. My approach is fiercely integrative and universally trauma-informed. I do not have one standard approach because true

recovery is rarely one-dimensional. What differentiates my practice is the seamless

blending of evidence-based clinical psychology with transcendental, spiritual, and subconscious frameworks.

Regardless of what brings you into my office—whether you are navigating relationship issues, a life transition, seeking spiritual growth, or recovering from a severe accident—every single session is held through a trauma-informed lens. I understand that our histories shape our nervous systems. I prioritize your safety and pacing, drawing heavily

from Clinical Hypnotherapy and regression techniques to safely access deeper trauma and energetic blockages, alongside solution-focused strategies for conscious processing.

What that looks like in practice is that I pay attention to your whole self—your physical tension, your energetic blocks, and your spiritual readiness. I tailor our work to help you heal at every level. I will gently challenge you, ground our work in clinical approaches, and equip you with actionable tools to create meaningful change in your daily life.

A bit about me outside the office I share my life with my husband—who works in the medical field as a physician and anesthesiologist—and our two sons. 

When I am not in the clinic, I love to travel to new places and deeply immerse myself in different cultures.

I am also passionate about cooking, which serves as a wonderful stress buster for me. I believe food is a vital necessity, but it is also a vessel for healing. I practice what I teach—whether through meditation or making a meal—and I bring that same authentic, full-hearted energy into the therapy room with you.

I look forward to connecting with you, and it would be an honour to be a guiding lamp and a pillar of strength on your healing journey.
