Life can be challenging, especially with a chronic condition. We navigate a world that isn't always understanding of or compassionate towards the experience of illness and its effects on our plans, relationships, and sense of self. Jessica is passionate about creating warm and supportive spaces to help people make sense of their experiences and realize their coping skills and resilience. She employs an integrative approach that draws from Solution-Focused, Narrative, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies to meet people's needs, support their goals, and help them work towards wellness.
