About me
Hi! I’m Jennifer, a Canadian psychotherapist.
I've spent many years living abroad in Barcelona, and I know how challenging it can be to build a life far from home — the instability, uncertainty, loneliness, and loss of direction, community, and purpose.
From the start of my studies, I wanted to know more about the connection between mental and physical well-being. That's why I have degrees in both Psychology and Nutrition from Western University in Canada. But I also want to know what actually helps people change - and make that change last.
That led me to pursue a 2-year post-graduate diploma in Problem-Solving Brief Therapy with extensive supervision, so I could offer tools that are not just insightful but also actionable and effective.
I also have ADHD, which made me dive even deeper into working with neurodivergence. I've completed further training in this area and am a certified ADHD Professional (ADHD-CCSP).
My main specialities are:
- Anxiety & depression
- Binge & emotional eating
- ADHD
In more general day-to-day terms, that tends to cover:
- Self-criticism
- People pleasing
- Perfectionism
- Overthinking
- Procrastination, motivation ("feeling stuck"), habit formation
- Suppressing, exploding (emotions)
..and more.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
I focus on practical solutions that help you move forward, without getting stuck in overthinking.
My approach is solution-focused and integrative. I draw from different evidence-based methods, including third-wave CBT, humanistic, interpersonal, and systemic models, tailoring the process to what works best for you.
What sets my work apart is my use of Problem-Solving Brief Therapy techniques. Together, we identify what’s getting in your way right now and apply concrete strategies to build momentum, self-efficacy, and real-world results.
We won’t get stuck endlessly analyzing the past — instead, we’ll build strategies you can use today. When past experiences come up, we’ll work through them thoughtfully, without losing focus on the present progress you're here to make.
