Affordable therapy in BC for grief, pet loss, anxiety, relationship struggles & healing from stressful family dynamics.
For adults navigating anxiety, people-pleasing, boundary setting & difficult family or friendship dynamics.
Have you spent most of your life taking care of everyone else?
Perhaps you grew up with emotionally immature parents, learned to keep the peace, or became the person everyone relied on.
Now you may find yourself:
🌿 Struggling with anxiety or chronic stress
🌿 Feeling guilty when you set boundaries
🌿 Overthinking conversations and decisions
🌿 Doubting yourself in relationships
🌿 Feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions
🌿 Wondering who you are outside of taking care of others
Many of these patterns begin as survival strategies in childhood and continue long into adulthood.
Together, we'll work to understand where these patterns come from, calm anxiety, strengthen boundaries, build self-trust, and help you reconnect with your own needs, voice, and identity.
You don't have to keep carrying everything alone.
Book a free 20 minute consultation to see whether counselling with me feels like the right fit for you.
For partners who love each other, but feel stuck in disconnection, conflict or reoccurring patterns.
You care about each other.
But lately it feels like you're having the same argument over and over.
One person pursues.
One person shuts down.
Both people leave feeling hurt, frustrated, or misunderstood.
You may be struggling with:
🌿 Communication breakdowns
🌿 Growing resentment or emotional distance
🌿 Trust concerns
🌿 Family conflict or in-law stress
🌿 Difficult boundaries with parents or extended family
🌿 Feeling more like roommates than partners
Couples counselling provides a space to slow things down, understand what's happening beneath the conflict, and learn new ways of communicating and reconnecting.
Together, we'll focus on rebuilding emotional safety, strengthening communication, and helping you feel like a team again.

For adults navigating grief, pet loss and life after the loss of something or someone deeply loved.
Grief changes us.
Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a dearly loved pet, a relationship, a family connection, or a future you hoped for, loss can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and alone.
You may be carrying:
🌿 Sadness, anger, guilt, or regret
🌿 The pain of losing a loved one
🌿 The stillness of loosing a cherished pet (click here to learn more about pet loss)
🌿 Anticipatory grief while someone is ill or aging and the dreams that came with it
🌿 The loss of a relationship, marriage, or friendship
🌿 Grief connected to family estrangement or childhood experiences
There is no right way to grieve and no timeline you need to follow.
Together, we'll create space for your grief, make sense of what has been lost, and help you move back towards living your life again, while honouring the love and meaning that remains.

Hi, I'm Jen, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. I offer affordable therapy for adult individuals & couples in BC, who are navigating disconnect in their relationships, experiencing grief or loss, emotional neglect, or the lasting effects of challenging family dynamics or friendships.
You might feel overwhelmed, confused, or unsure of what’s “wrong”, especially if you’ve spent years minimizing your own experiences. My role is to offer a warm, grounded space where your story can be heard, your feelings validated, and your healing journey supported.
Through warmth, empathy, specialized training and real-life experiences, I support you in gently untangling your story and making sense of it all—at your own pace—and rebuilding a more empowered, connected version of yourself. Healing is possible. You don’t have to do it alone.
🌱 Grief. Loss. Difficult Relationships. Couples Counselling. Emotional Healing.🌱
Let’s begin, together.
I know reaching out for support can be a huge and often very intimidating and scary step. It may even feel like a weakness. My hope is that by reading a little more about me, it will help to settle some of those very normal feelings you may be having, in trying to find a counsellor who you can feel comfortable being open with. But I want to encourage you to trust yourself, you'll know when you find the right counsellor for you.
Willow is a gentle, sweet and full of character kitty. As a rescue with her own story of healing, she brings a quiet, sometimes giggle inducing, yet comforting presence to the counselling space at Nurture Me Counselling. On calmer days, she may choose to curl up nearby during our session—offering warmth, grounding, and the occasional purr of support.
Her presence is always optional but if you’d like to request a visit from Willow during your session, we can discuss that during our consult call.
The office will be closed for summer holidays from:
June 29 - July 3rd & July 17 - 26
