Hi, I’m Jake

I am excited to meet you, get to know your story, and assist you in your journey in finding fulfillment and bringing you closer to the goals you hope to achieve in therapy. I am a generally registered psychologist with a philosophy that every person is unique and deserves a tailored therapeutic experience that aims to create sustainable and long lasting change. Due to my additional training in sport and exercise psychology, my approach to mental health involves a "mind and body" integration. Our mental health influences is strongly tied to how we feel, think, and our physical behaviours.
