About Jessica-Ann
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Dalhousie University, a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from the University of Victoria, and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of British Columbia.
In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients, meeting them where they are and supporting their growth, healing, and meaningful change. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and empowerment, with a focus on helping clients reach goals that feel authentic and achievable.
I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, disability, trauma, substance use, and chronic health challenges. My work is informed by a structural and anti-oppressive lens, recognizing the impact of inequality and systemic barriers. I value the diversity of people’s identities, cultures, and life experiences, offering an inclusive and affirming space.
My counselling approach is practical and compassionate. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a foundation, I help clients build tools to reduce stress and anxiety and increase contentment. I also draw from Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, and Exposure Therapy to tailor our work to each client’s needs.
Outside of counselling, I enjoy cycling, studying Japanese, exploring local parks, and spending time with my two daughters.
