Is this a children's book? Yes. And do I read it to adults? Also yes! I find that so many people have a hard time understanding feelings (even myself at times). This book helps people understand that we can describe feelings in so much more than just words. They can have a texture or color to them, they can feel heavy or light.

Do you know how to describe your feelings?

I had the pleasure of completing EMDR training outdoors, what a beautiful way to connect to yourself and nature.

EMDR stands for "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing." It is a structured form of therapy that is incredibly useful for treating trauma. EMDR encompasses a holistic process of acknowledging thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations that make up the traumatic experience.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions about EMDR!

Sometimes, therapy is about getting really uncomfortable.

But other times, it's about feeling calm, secure, and grounded.

PS. I love when clients get cozy in sessions 😊

An unexpected part of the healing journey is that it can feel very lonely. My role is to walk alongside you as a fellow traveller helping you recognize the bravery and strength that it takes to make this journey.

New professional pics taken!

Every time I get new pics I'm going to reintroduce myself.

So hi! I'm Jilynne, the type of psychologist that you probably don't typically think of. I like to laugh and swear, and sometimes I jumble my words up. I'm honest with my clients, but in a gentle and kind way. I am incredibly validating but also offer hard truths when needed. I am 100% myself in sessions and hope that makes my clients comfortable enough to be their authentic selves too.

Is there anything you'd like to learn about me or the work I do?

When people suffer from physical ailments, we provide them comfort, support, and gifts. When people suffer from mental illness, they are often forgotten about. This is why mental illness is considered a hidden epidemic.

If you know someone struggling with mental illness, this is a reminder to offer some comfort and support 🩵

I believe that relationships can move from conflict towards increased intimacy. My primary approach is to instill hope that couples have the capacity for change.

Couples often feel a sense of relief and promise as they learn each other's inner worlds, provide one another attention and comfort, and gain the tools to work through conflicts in a healthy way. I also believe it is important to celebrate moments of connection, humor, commitment, and trust.
