Julie Cowie
​Julie has a passion for working with people.

Julie thrives on helping her clients find inner strengths and build resiliency skills they maybe didn't even know were there. Julie believes that every person has the innate ability to grow and change and live a happy and fulfilling life. The counselling journey is a safe space to explore and process struggles and challenges.

Jenna Noble
Jenna understands that taking the first step toward seeking support is a courageous act, and you deserve a space where you feel heard, valued, and safe to show up exactly as you are. Life can feel overwhelming, leaving us stuck or disconnected, but healing is not about fixing something broken — it’s about reconnecting with lost or unheard parts of yourself, and sometimes even discovering new ones. Together, we will explore your thoughts and emotions with compassion, helping you gain insight and uncover the version of yourself that feels most true. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to navigate it alone — Jenna is here to walk alongside you with care, understanding, and deep respect for your unique journey.

Free Mindfulness Apps

-
Breathr Developed by the BC Children's Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre and BC Children's Centre for Mindfulness, along with young people, this free app provides ways to get started with mindfulness. Breathr provides opportunities for youth and young adults to try a variety of mindfulness practices, from guided meditations to simple practices that can be used anywhere. It also teaches interesting facts about the brain science behind those practices. For example, did you know that regularly practicing mindfulness can improve your relationships and connection with others? Or that it has been shown to change parts of the brain that improve memory and reduce stress?
