Anxiety, stress & overwhelm
Overthinking, persistent worry, difficulty switching off, and feeling stretched by everyday demands.
A little curiosity. A little room to grow.
You are more
than what
you know about
yourself.

A note to begin with · 01
You don’t have to arrive
with everything figured out.
Sometimes, a beginning is simply making room for a question. What else might be here? What else might be possible?
About me · 02
Hello, I’m Jeanie.

Before becoming a therapist,
I had questions of my own.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in research and consumer insights at ByteDance, Nielsen, and Rogers Sports & Media. Later, when I reached a crossroads in my career, I began asking myself: What do I really want? What kind of life feels right for me?
My own experience of therapy changed how I understood myself and helped me see possibilities I hadn’t considered before. That experience, alongside my longstanding curiosity about people, led me toward psychotherapy.
In our work together, I hope you feel understood and discover something new about yourself. Together, we can explore what has shaped who you are today, and the possibilities within you that are yet to be seen and explored.

What we can explore · 03
What brings you here?
You don’t need a clear label for what you’re experiencing. These are some of the concerns we can talk about together.
Low mood & disconnection
Sadness, loneliness, feeling stuck, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others.
Relationships & boundaries
Communication difficulties, conflict, infidelity and its impact on trust, people-pleasing, setting boundaries, and recurring relationship patterns.
Self-worth & self-criticism
Feeling not good enough, perfectionism, comparison, self-doubt, and finding it hard to recognize your own needs.
Identity, meaning & direction
Understanding who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to live - including when life looks fine on the outside but doesn’t feel that way.
Career, burnout & life transitions
Workplace pressure, feeling depleted, questioning your career, changing roles, and uncertainty about what comes next.
Culture, immigration & belonging
Navigating different cultural expectations, adapting to a new place, questions of belonging, and tensions between personal and family values.
Family, parenting & old patterns
Family expectations, experiences from growing up, parenting pressures, shifting responsibilities, and patterns you hope to understand differently.
Grief, loss & adjustment
Grieving someone important, the death of a pet, the end of a relationship, or losses connected to changes in your life.

Room to be understood.
Space to discover.
You can bring the things that feel difficult to explain, the reactions that surprise you, or a question you haven’t quite found the words for.
Begin with understanding
I want our conversations to feel safe enough for you to speak openly, without worrying about being judged or corrected. We can take time to understand your experience before deciding what to explore next.
Make room for discovery
Together, we may notice recurring patterns, explore emotions that have had little room to be expressed, and consider how your experiences and relationships have shaped the way you respond today.
Explore what else is possible
As your understanding develops, we can explore other ways of relating to yourself and others. There is room for new experiences and small steps, at a pace that makes sense for you.
Approaches that inform my work
I draw on different therapeutic approaches according to what we are exploring together, rather than expecting one method to fit every person.

Beyond the therapy room · 06
Still curious,
wherever I am.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, taking photos, reading, writing, and making bracelets. I occasionally pick up my guitar, too - though I wouldn’t call myself a musician.
He brings a different kind of adventure at home. This expression deserves its own caption.
