About Jesse
Jesse is a Registered Psychologist in Canmore and an athletic psychologist specializing in sports performance, injury recovery, and mental health support for athletes and youth athletes. He has completed a Master’s degree at Adler University, and a 1600-hour supervised practicum. He also works with adults navigating work-related stress, trauma, or injury.
Based in Canmore, Jesse provides psychology services grounded in scientific principles to help clients return to sport or physical activity after injury, improve training and competition performance, and overcome mental health barriers that may limit goals, confidence, or overall wellbeing. He integrates EMDR therapy when appropriate—a structured, evidence-based approach that helps the nervous system process mental or emotional “stuck points,” restore calm, and improve clarity—supporting clients in overcoming mental blocks and achieving meaningful outcomes.
His approach is strengths-focused, person-centred, and results-oriented. Outside of clinical work, Jesse is passionate about fitness and pursuing his own performance goals as a competitive natural strongman and 2025 Canadian top-3 finisher. He brings the same mindset of resilience, discipline, and high standards to his psychology practice, helping clients overcome setbacks and achieve their personal, athletic, and professional goals.
