Meet Jessica, BA (Psych), RAc, Counselling Intern

Hello! I’m Jessica, a counselling intern with both a background in counselling and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Prior to returning to school for a Master of Counselling, I was an acupuncturist here Edmonton. This gives me a unique, holistic lens on emotional wellness. I focus my practice on supporting clients through the complex terrain of fertility, parenting, and mental health – areas I’ve both studied professionally and lived personally.

Many of my clients are parents, people navigating the stress of family life, or those facing fertility challenges. I offer a compassionate, grounded space for you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and walk through whatever’s feeling heavy or overwhelming.

I use a trauma-informed approach that weaves together Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic practices, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Whether we’re exploring patterns of anxiety, emotional regulation, identity, or burnout, my work is always collaborative and respectful of your pace and goals.

As a parent with a busy household, I understand how life’s demands can stack up and how important it is to have support that is both practical and emotionally attuned.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply needing space to focus on your own wellbeing, I’d be honoured to work with you.
