Email: Jassi@thetherapyspace.co
Trauma isn’t always loud. It can appear in subtle emotional, psychological, and physical ways, often rooted in “quiet” experiences like chronic stress or feeling overwhelmed. It may show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, difficulty with trust or boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-worth, or avoidance. The body can react too, with chronic tension, headaches, fatigue, sleep problems, or heightened responses to stress. When these feelings build, it’s important to pause, breathe, and seek support. Understanding that everyone experiences these feelings at some point can help us navigate through difficulties with greater empathy and compassion for ourselves.
My commitment to advocating for mental health inspired me to delve deeper into the field of psychology to better address the challenges faced by individuals and communities. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and am currently a Master’s in Counselling Psychology candidate. On a community level, I serve as a crisis responder at a distress centre, providing emotional support, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention services to individuals experiencing mental health challenges.
As a therapist, my goal is to guide you in exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences to help you gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what you want to achieve. My approach is grounded in empathy and compassion, creating a safe space for you to process difficult emotions. Through our work together, I aim to empower you to take charge of your life, build resilience, and overcome life’s challenges.
I work with individuals and couples facing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I offer a client-centered and integrative approach to therapy, using a range of modalities that are trauma-informed and culturally responsive.
No matter what stage you find yourself in your healing journey, I want you to know that every step you take is significant. Whether you're just beginning to acknowledge your struggles or you’ve made considerable progress and are exploring deeper layers of healing, it's important to embrace the process. Your healing matters.

Community focus:
What is it like working with you?
Working with me means being in a calm and supportive space that is attuned to your unique needs. I work from a trauma-informed lens, which means I prioritize emotional and physiological safety from the very beginning. I move at your pace and honour your autonomy at every step. Clients often tell me they feel deeply seen, as I pay close attention to what is said and what is felt beneath the surface. My goal is to create an environment where you feel supported, empowered, and able to experiment with new ways of being.
What do you like most about being a therapist?
What I enjoy most about being a therapist is helping clients connect with themselves on a deeper level. Witnessing clients gain insights that can change the trajectory of their lives is an incredibly rewarding experience. Many people are just one “light bulb” moment away from a transformation that can lead to a lifetime of fulfillment.
What are some ways you take care of your mental health?
I take care of my mental health by acknowledging when it's time to slow down and incorporate moments of joy into my routine. I do this through creative outlets such as painting, doing crafts, and playing the piano. I prioritize daily movement by going for walks, doing yoga and pilates, and strength training at the gym. In my spare time I enjoy being in nature, listening to music, and trying out new recipes.
