Meet Jessica

Hi, I’m Jessica, owner and founder of Mountain Brow Counselling in beautiful Hamilton, ON. I specialize in all things perinatal mental health - maybe you’re thinking about getting pregnant, trying to conceive or adopt, have had a miscarriage or later loss, are pregnant or now postpartum. I work with women across this stage of life whether it’s your first time or you are many years into your parenting era.  

I teach women how to find joy and meaning again in their lives not only as a mother, but as a whole person outside of the motherhood role. 

I’m a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with more than 10 years' experience, here to work alongside you. I take a curious and compassionate approach to find out where you are getting stuck and get you to where you want to be.

I'm not only a therapist, but also a mom of two girls. I know what it means to struggle and find my way again through this season of life.

When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me spending quality time with my kids and partner. Outside of this role, I enjoy being active, gardening, baking, reading, hosting parties, and planning my family's next vacation. Currently, I have been to 35 countries and counting! I also love just relaxing on the couch and winding down after a long day.  

While I love time with my family, I firmly believe in the concept of “radical self-care” which means I make sure to regularly take time for myself so that I can better show up for others.
