Reclaim your mind and body through practical relief and creative depth.
Green Glass Counselling and Art Therapy offers online clinical counselling and art therapy sessions in British Columbia. Providing a down-to-earth, specialized space for youth and adults to step out of the exhausting cycles of OCD, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
Welcome— I'm Jessica
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Professional Art Therapist, I know firsthand that healing from trauma, OCD, and low self-esteem requires more than just standard talk therapy. It requires a space where your mind and body can both find relief.
My intention is to offer a tender, deeply human space where you feel truly supported as you move through your healing process. Drawing on my clinical training and deep love for both counselling and art therapy, I am here to help you safely explore what keeps you stuck, build practical daily tools, and gently create a meaningful path forward.
About Green Glass
Green Glass Counselling & Art Therapy is based in Nelson, British Columbia—a place I’m grateful to call home, surrounded by nature and a strong sense of community. I support clients across the province through virtual sessions.
The name Green Glass is inspired by a favourite song of mine by Andy Shauf, as well as sea glass—how something once rough can be shaped and softened over time. It reflects my belief in transformation and the ways our experiences can be integrated into something meaningful.
My intention is to offer a anchored space where you feel supported as you move through your healing process, grounded in my training, experience, and love for counselling and art therapy.
