Jessica’s work is rooted in the belief that our lives are shaped by the many roles we inhabit, such as those of children, siblings, partners, and parents. Raising four children of her own, she is familiar with the messy dynamics of family life and the uniqueattachment needs we all carry. She is fascinated by the "why" behind who you are today. Her goal is to help you process emotions so you can become “unstuck” and find renewed purpose, security, and meaningful connections.

 

Jessica considers it an honour and a privilege to walk alongside her clients through the more challenging areas of life. She isn't afraid to go there with you, believing that each person is the expert of their own life and already has what they need to move forward.

 

When she isn’t in the therapist’s chair, Jessica is usually behind the wheel, shuttling her four kids around. She lives on a hobby farm where she spends plenty of time with her animals, but she also loves getting away to camp or catching up with friends and family. A true BC local at heart, Jessica finds she is her best self when she is out among the trees or by the water.

 

Jessica is currently accepting new clients and looks forward to supporting you on your journey. Feel free to reach out to book a session! jdehaancounselling@gmail.com
