Jessica – B.A., M.A. (cand.) Practicum Student (she/her)
Biography
Hi, my name is Jessica Hayward, and I am a practicum student.
I completed my undergraduate studies at St. Francis Xavier University and have recently relocated to friendly Manitoba from the East Coast! I am currently pursuing a Master of Psychology and Counselling at Yorkville University. I’m excited to expand my knowledge and experience by working alongside the incredible team at Oak Tree Therapy.
My Role
My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental, respectful, and compassionate space where we can explore difficult emotions that may be challenging to talk about. I deeply understand the courage and vulnerability it takes to acknowledge the hurdles life throws our way and to choose to rewrite your own story.
Together, we will explore your goals within this therapeutic process to support you in meeting your personal goals for wellness and increased functioning.
