Jenn is a queer, cis, able-bodied, small-fat, white settler who is learning and practicing on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples: the territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. She is an associate counsellor, having completed her Master of Counselling degree from City University of Seattle's 'Vancouver' campus.
Jenn's approach to counselling – and life – is to show up in full humanity and authenticity, with warmth, curiosity, and openness without judgment. She believes that the personal is political, with her core values based on intersectional feminism, fat liberation, queer celebration, anti-racism, and radical acceptance. Jenn's approach is collaborative, person-centered, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed. Her practice draws upon narrative, systems, and somatic theories. She is honoured to witness and share time with folks wherever they are on their journey and will elicit ongoing feedback in creating a safe enough, accessible space that is conducive to healing.
Jenn is conversational in American Sign Language and has experience supporting neurodivergent and folks with disabilities through Equine-Assisted Therapy. She has lived experience with complex grief and loss, depression and anxiety, body image and fat liberation, self-esteem, illness diagnosis, death anxiety, familial violence/trauma, various relationship structures and non-monogamy, navigating life changes, and other forms of trauma. Her ongoing training includes safe body inhabitation through The Hakomi Method and mindfulness exercises.
Jenn lives with her sweet rescue dog Cubby and loves surprising friends with handwritten cards in the mail. She finds endless joy in forest bathing, dancing, reading, movies, tattoos/body art, drag, and exploring nature.
