Jeanie is married and a mother of four, with personal experience confronting the issues couples and single parents face in parenting children through youth, adolescence and early adulthood. She has a deep understanding of the complex challenges parents and children must deal with in today’s changing world.

Her psychotherapeutic model encompasses use of Bowen Family Systems, Solution Focused Therapy, and a unique holistic approach exploring the cognitive, behavioral, and emotion issues that cause dysfunctional relationships.

Practical experience and professional licensure have prepared her to fulfill the much-needed gap in support counselling that leads to family wholeness.

In addition to her individual and family counselling practice, Jeanie facilitates alcohol and drug education seminars and communication workshops for couples.

She believes that understanding how to love oneself is the first step in learning to effectively love and help others.
