About Jada
Jada is a counselling psychology intern with a strong foundation in child development, parenting, and family dynamics. Her work is informed by formal training in counselling psychology, an Early Childhood Education diploma, and years of frontline experience supporting young children and neurodivergent individuals in early learning and behavioural settings.
Jada works primarily with children, adolescents, and parents who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, big emotions, behavioural challenges, or ongoing family stress. Having spent many years in preschool settings and family-centred environments, Jada brings a practical, developmentally grounded understanding of how children’s emotions and behaviours show up across home, school, and relational contexts. Her approach is developmentally informed, attachment-based, and collaborative. Jada views children’s behaviours as meaningful communication shaped by their nervous systems, relationships, and environments. Rather than focusing on “fixing” a child, she helps families in understanding what emotions and behaviours are communicating, and how to respond in ways that support emotional regulation, confidence, and connection. She often works closely with parents, offering guidance and coaching alongside direct child therapy. Jada draws from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and emotion-focused and attachment-based frameworks, thoughtfully adapting each to the child’s developmental stage and family context. She strives to create a warm, non-judgmental space where children feel safe to express themselves and parents feel supported.
Outside of her work, Jada is a mother of two teenagers, an avid hiker and yogi, and musician. She and her family reside in Cochrane.
