Meet Jenna

Jenna is a Registered Provisional Psychologist who is passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and personal growth. She believes that everyone possesses the capacity for positive change and strives to help clients access their inner strengths while building the tools and strategies needed to live a fulfilling and authentic life.

Jenna completed her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Concordia University of Edmonton and went on to complete her Master of Counselling through City University. Jenna has worked in the mental health field since 2018 and has experience working with a wide range of populations. She worked as a Peer Support Team Lead during her undergraduate degree while also providing respite care to children and adults with disabilities. After completing her undergraduate degree, Jenna worked on the front lines of the opioid crisis, providing professional harm reduction services and overdose response support. She then transitioned into a role on a multidisciplinary team at an inpatient psychiatric facility, giving her years of experience working with numerous populations, including individuals experiencing challenges related to personality disorders, forensic involvement, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders.

During her master's practicum, Jenna supported individuals and families experiencing domestic violence. Jenna enjoyed this work so much that she continued as a volunteer therapist for an additional year following her practicum. Throughout her academic and professional experiences, Jenna has worked with a wide range of age groups and populations, including children, teens, young adults, adults, and older adults.

From a therapeutic perspective, Jenna has experience and training in modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Informed Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and somatic-based approaches. She tends to base her therapeutic work within an attachment and relational framework. Jenna embraces client-centred, strength-based, and trauma-informed principles in her practice and has a particular interest in trauma recovery. Jenna has completed formal training in intensive trauma treatment, DBT, and EMDR. She hopes to complete Gottman training to expand her work into couples therapy and further specialize in sex therapy in the future.

Due to her previous experience in health care, Jenna is particularly interested in supporting first responders and other health-care professionals who may be experiencing work-related stress or trauma. Jenna recognizes the stigma that can surround professionals seeking their own support and aims to normalize therapy within these populations.

Jenna likes to incorporate humour where appropriate during her sessions and prides herself on her ability to make others laugh, even after a difficult session. Her goal each day is to make someone smile or laugh, or to do something that brightens someone's world. You can expect warmth, compassion, humour, and humility throughout your sessions.

Jenna works with an emphasis on guiding clients to understand how our bodies can carry trauma, whether through complex trauma or single-incident trauma. She believes in not just intellectualizing trauma, but actually processing it while staying connected to the present moment through safety and grounding. Jenna also enjoys helping clients foster self-compassion throughout the therapeutic process, believing that oftentimes our harshest critic is ourselves. She will always collaborate with clients to develop a therapeutic approach that feels right for them.

Jenna understands that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, and she is committed to creating a space where clients feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are. She believes that healing often begins with connection, curiosity, and compassion, and considers it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they navigate life's challenges, build on their strengths, and work toward the life they want for themselves.

Jenna is accepting new clients as of July 13th, 2026 , and will be available for counselling bookings on Mondays through Thursday from 2:00pm-9:00pm.
