Jillian is a counselling psychology practicum student committed to supporting you in building a more resilient life by exploring your strengths, patterns, and challenges. She values collaboration and works with you to identify what truly matters, ensuring alignment with your goals and values. Drawing from her own personal development, Jillian understands that engaging in therapy can feel daunting, and she strives to create a space of compassionate understanding and unwavering support.

Before transitioning to psychotherapy, Jillian spent ten years working in post-secondary education, supporting students of diverse ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Her passion for teaching and learning has shaped her trauma-informed approach, integrating Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Jillian is certified in Gottman Method Couples Therapy – Level 1 and is dedicated to providing an inclusive and affirming therapeutic environment. Living with chronic illness herself, she deeply understands the impact of invisible struggles and recognizes that not all suffering is immediately apparent. With a non-judgmental presence rooted in empathy and trust, she offers both support and practical tools for meaningful change. Jillian enjoys working with individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, gender and queer identity, chronic illness, and grief.

Jillian is currently accepting virtual clients ages 12 and up.
