Work With Me

Small shifts create new possibilities

Personal Interests

I am fortunate to live near many conservation areas that I hike daily with my two rescue dogs. When I'm not outside, I am actively trying to make the indoors into a jungle, with too many houseplants. I also cherish time with loved ones, and enjoy thrifting, board games, and crafts. I practice plant-based living for ethical, environmental, and health reasons.

Professional Development

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in post-secondary education for 10 years. I am committed to lifelong learning and ongoing professional development.

Hi! I'm Jillian

My Approach

My approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding. Together, we slow down to explore your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and protective patterns with curiosity and compassion. My work is informed by neuroscience, attachment theory, trauma-aware care, and experiential approaches including parts work, emotion-focused, body-based, and mindfulness therapies. Rather than following a single model, I draw from these approaches in a way that is responsive to your unique experiences and goals. I work with both individuals and couples.

I became a therapist because I deeply believe people do not need to carry their pain alone. In this video, I share a bit about what drew me to this work and how I aim to create a space that feels calm, respectful, and genuinely supportive.

Why Moss & Stone?

Moss

Stone

Stone, by contrast, is enduring and grounded. It carries history, shaped yet unbroken by life’s storms. At times, it reflects our defences, the hardness that forms in response to pain or fear.

Moss grows in places that seem inhospitable, showing that healing and resilience can take root even in harsh conditions. Its growth is quiet and steady, change unfolding slowly with time.

Alone, moss is fragile and stone is hard. Together, they form a resilient, living balance, a reminder that healing involves both strength and softness.
