Greetings! My name is Janelle and I have recently completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Providing a comfortable environment that is free of judgement is immeasurably important to me and I treat all individuals with respect both in and outside of the therapeutic space. It is important to me that I am able to individualize my therapeutic approaches for all diversity of needs.
I am eager to help you grow through a skills-based and client-centred approach. I enjoy bringing mindfulness into my sessions, collaboratively structuring your journey with you. You can often catch me engaging in meditation and breathing exercises so suffice to say, I practice what I preach! I like to take some time getting to know your inner world, then use your knowledge and experience to guide a strengths-based approach to healing and connection through the therapeutic process. Although your past can be insightful, I will use it as a means to guide a present-focused approach. As I progress in my skill set, I am hoping to work towards using somatic practices and to become certified in teaching somatic-informed yoga as a means to mesh the mind-body connection. With this in mind, I am eager to explore diverse topics and gain broad experience so I have a robust toolkit to draw from when informing my counselling sessions.
You might have an inkling that holistic wellness is a passion of mine - and you are right! I believe that it’s important to view health as a whole-body concept that incorporates whatever aspects are meaningful to you, whether that be physical health, emotional, spiritual, mental wellness, or a combination of all of those factors. I am also passionate about finding ways to incorporate our natural world into the healing process because fresh air can’t help but give you a fresh perspective. Some counselling-specific interests of mine are skill-based and client-centred approaches, somatic therapy (EMDR, Hakomi, somatic experiencing), narrative therapy, and solutions-focused brief therapy.

My Journey to becoming a provisional psychologist consisted of a bachelors of science in
psychology which focused on the neuronal mechanisms of the brain and how various life events
can affect how mental wellness presents itself in an individual. This foundation led to a masters
in counselling which focused on the intricacies of how our social, biological, and psychological
world influence and shape our mental health. With this wealth of understanding I take an
integrative approach which seeks to understand and manage how different aspects of our inner
and outer experiences influence how we show up in our day to day lives.
In knowing that there are many layers to mental health, I focus my attention on interventions
that have been shown to improve mental wellness such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
(CBT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
(SFBT). I also employ modalities such as Psychodynamic therapy, Dialectical Behavioral
Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy and continue to add other necessary modalities based
on client need. In addition, with my integrative approach I focus on the importance of sleep
hygiene, nutrition, and body image as well as body positivity.
Prior to becoming a registered provisional psychologist I interned for a non-profit organization
which focused on a variety of issues such as childhood abuse, gender identity, agoraphobia,
addiction, and the houseless population. During this internship and other employment opportunities I also work with children who have challenges with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and behavioural nuances that may affect school or home life. This allowed me to start my journey as a
trauma-informed therapist as it is important to ensure clients psychological safety while
exploring the challenges that are faced. I also gained experience as a recruitment consultant
which employs me to be able to understand challenges clients may face in their career, and
their professional growth and lends a hand for clients who may feel stuck in their work life.
These experiences have helped shape my holistic and empathetic approach. When I’m not in
the office I enjoy long walks, pilates, hot yoga, which help me stay balanced and ready for my
day!
Tapping into your inner wisdom awaits!

Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to check out my bio! I have worked as a dietitian for over a decade and more recently expanded my knowledge into the field mental health. I have realized over the years that mental health and nutrition are very intimately connected and rely on one another to excel! Whether you have specific nutrition concerns related to a condition, or if you are looking to improve your relationship with food and body, I would love to help. My focus is on intuitive eating and mindful eating – helping others to connect to innate cues of hunger and fullness and learning to respect what our bodies want and need, all while helping people disconnect from diet culture.
From a mental health perspective, I’m here to listen to your story and help you rebuild a new one! I mostly use elements of mindfulness, attachment theory, CBT, and narrative therapy in my approach – I admit, it’s a bit eclectic. More than anything, I’m interested in hearing what you have to say and doing everything I can to make you feel safe, heard, and validated. Before we are able to change our story’s ending, we need a safe place to share where our story began and that’s what I hope to do for my clients!
