Hi, I’m Jessica

I help women facing challenges in relation to perinatal mental health, grief & loss, parenting, and burnout.

I teach women how to find joy and meaning again in their lives not only as a mother but as a whole person outside of their motherhood role. 


Throughout my career as a social worker, I’ve always been drawn to supporting moms who are having babies, raising babies, or raising older kids while also trying to have a life of their own - this was even before I had my own kids. When I did eventually have my own children, it really turned my life upside down and I had to dig deep to get to where I am today as a woman, mother, and professional.

What I especially love about supporting women while they are raising their families is that it’s not just about the moms. When I can help a woman find the tools and regulation she needs to become happier and feel more effective, it has a tangible trickle down effect on supporting their children’s mental health and development. So it can feel like a buy-one-get-one free deal and who doesn’t love that?

While I’m not perfect and there’s certainly still room for me to grow, I want to offer women and moms the support they need so that they can flourish again too.

A word on my credentials and experience: I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of British Columbia as well as a Bachelor of Social Work degree from McMaster University and Master of Social Work degree from Wilfrid Laurier University. I am registered and in good standing with both the Ontario College of Social Workers & Social Service Workers and Ontario Association for Social Workers. Lastly, I am dedicated to continuously updating my education through regular professional development opportunities that help better support my clients.
