Meet Jennifer
I’ve always been intense, drawn to big questions, fascinated by people, and searching for meaning in the unknown. If you think deeply, feel a lot, or never quite fit the mold, I get it. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing, it’s about creating space to hear, trust, and understand yourself in a way that feels real.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Expressive Arts Therapist offering virtual therapy across Ontario and the occasional in-person session through the Toronto Wellness Collective.

About
Therapy across Ontario for adults, teens & families. Rooted in experiential work, we go beyond talk to integrate mind, body, and meaning, supporting transformation, capacity-building, and deeper self-connection.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked across Canada in arts, health, and community care: as an actor, personal trainer, recreational therapist, and (almost) everything in between. I’ve supported children, adults, and folks at the end of life. These experiences shaped how I see people: not as problems to fix, but as complex, creative, deeply feeling beings navigating a world that doesn’t always make room for them. For clients who feel stuck or misunderstood by traditional talk therapy, I offer space to explore using creative, experiential, or non-traditional ways of working.
If therapy hasn’t quite fit before (or if you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to conform) you’re in the right place. However you show up, we’ll start there
