Tailored Support for Your Unique Needs
In person and virtual counselling for individuals and students across Saskatchewan who are feeling stuck, worried, or stressed.
About
Therapy and presentations/workshops in Regina and across Saskatchewan for anyone struggling with anxiousness and for students of all ages.
Hi, I'm Jenn,
A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELLOR IN REGINA, SK.
I work with individuals who struggle with worry and often find themselves overthinking, feeling stuck in their own thoughts, and having "what if" thoughts frequently. On the outside, things may seem fine, but internally it feels exhausting and frustrating.
When I became a mom I struggled with post-partem anxiety, so I understand having worrying thoughts, feeling isolated, and disconnected.
I also work with students of all ages (kindergarten to post-secondary students). School can be a tough time. Many students struggle with socializing, loneliness, stress, self regulation, disorganization, and lack of routine and habits.
As a former teacher, I understand the impacts that these struggles can have on student's mental health.
More About Me
My counselling practice exists to empower individuals in Regina and across Saskatchewan to reach their goals. I do this by encouraging clients to look at what is working and what is not, while building on their strengths.
By figuring out what works for you, you can begin to understand yourself better and let go of the things that are holding you back.
I am warm and relatable, while being honest and direct. I love working with people who are ready to make long term changes. My style is to tailor approaches to individual needs to figure out what works best for you.
I was born and raised in Regina. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. We have 3 pets at home too! Music is a huge part of my life, I love board gaming, and spending time at the lake!
My Professional Background
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology, from the University of Regina. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (C.C.C.). I worked as a teacher for many years and then transitioned into counselling. I have 19 years of experience working with youth. I also spent some time working in a post-secondary setting where I counselled students.
Meet Jenn!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know if counselling is right for me?
You do not need to be in a crisis to benefit from counselling. If you are feeling stuck, or anxious, or stressed and you would like to make changes in your life, counselling can help. If you are currently feeling motivated to make changes, this would be a good time to reach out.
2. What can I expect in the first session (intake session)?
The first session is longer than follow up sessions. We get to know each other, and I get all the background information I need to make an informed decision about your treatment plan. This is also where you identify your goals for counselling and what we will be working towards. By the end of your intake session, you will have a clear idea of what to expect in the follow up sessions.
3. How long does therapy usually take?
This varies from client to client. It depends on your goals and history, as well as your commitment to counselling. The clients that work on things in session and outside of session, usually see more benefit from counselling. You learn new skills and perspectives in session, and then if you apply that to your everyday life, that is when bigger changes start to happen!
4. How do I find the right therapist?
It is about feeling comfortable and feeling like you have a connection to your counsellor. Usually, I recommend that prospective clients read counsellor’s biographies online and see if anyone stands out. You should feel safe asking questions and sharing feedback in sessions. The first few sessions are typically about seeing if the counselling approach aligns with your needs.
