Hello, and welcome to...

I’ve always felt drawn to the healing arts, and eleven years ago I left the world of finance to pursue a career as a counselling therapist. It’s a great privilege to do this work and I cherish the many relationships and connections I have formed in the years since.

I’m a Registered Social Worker with the Alberta College of Social Workers, and have completed my Bachelor of Social Work and Masters of Social Work with a clinical focus on trauma. I have sought out several trainings and literature on various therapeutic approaches, and within my practice I draw primarily on EMDR, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Yoga and Mindfulness.

For the past eight years I’ve worked for Alberta Health Services in the areas of addiction, mental health, and psychiatry; supporting individuals from their teens into their senior years. Providing counselling for a variety of issues, including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, loss & grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD, and navigating life transitions. Across these years I have gained such a rich experience from working alongside knowledgeable professionals and learning from the individuals I have the privilege to work with.

I’m originally from the East Coast and I love our simple and relaxed approach to life that always makes time for fun and connection. I’m a proud mom to a son and daughter, and presently I’m learning how to navigate the teenage years alongside them. In my free time you’ll find me out in nature, in the yoga studio, and spending time with family and friends, and of course our dogs Bijoux and Birkin.

There is freedom waiting for you,

on the breezes of the sky,

and you ask, “What if I fall?”

Oh but my darling, what if you fly?

“Jacqueline is the type of therapist that you feel like your sitting across from a true friend. Her open and non-judgemental style puts your worries at ease. She knows

the exact timing to throw in a dash of humour, offer a hug, or shed a tear in

solidarity, she is the best kind of human” - S

“She just got it, hands down the best therapist. After our first session she had more insight into my life and struggles than my years of previous therapy” - J
