Jill works Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays virtually.

I am a mother, sister, aunt, and daughter born and raised in Vancouver.

I have completed two degrees from the University of British Columbia. An undergraduate degree in Linguistics (specializing in language acquisition in children) and a Master of Arts Degree in Special Education,

I worked for 14 years as an Infant Development Consultant. For the past 11 years, I worked as a Key Worker for the CDBC Program in the lower mainland. I have certifications in STAT (screening tool for Autism in Toddlers and Young Children), Watch, Wait and Wonder, Group facilitation and Developmental Parenting.

I have developed groups for parents, children, and youth. I have facilitated trainings for school district personnel, ministry social workers, and foster parents.

I have a passion for working with caregivers of individuals with FASD. I believe in working collaboratively to expand understanding, help navigate systems, develop support systems, and find appropriate resources. I believe that expanded knowledge of FASD and networking with other caregivers is necessary for families to feel supported and build strength and resiliency.

In my work, I have found that “it takes a village to raise children” is especially true, and I hope to help families find and develop their village.

My father is of biracial Chinese ancestry, and my mother is of mixed ancestry from Macau. As a BIPOC clinician, I recognize the duality of colonial history in my family and being a person of colour. I am a first-generation Canadian settler and a child of immigrants.

I am an ADHDer, Queer, have Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), and have a mobility disability. Over the last 15 years, through FASD Counselling, I have specialized in working with neurodivergent, particularly those with FASD, children, youth, and adults.

Born and raised in Vancouver, I am of European ancestry. I see clients in person at the Vancouver office on Thursdays and virtually on Tuesdays.

With over 30 years of experience in the school district, most of it as a school counsellor, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting children and youth through a trauma-informed lens. I hold a Master of Counselling Psychology, am a certified coach, hold a certificate in Mindfulness, and utilize evidence-based practices such as Ross Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) and EFT (Tapping). I have an extensive background and a high comfort level working with neurodiversity, and I am learning neurodiversity-affirming play therapy.

I believe that deep work doesn’t always have to be heavy; I lead with warmth, humour, and creativity to build authentic connections and foster resilience. When I’m not in counsellor mode, I’m embracing my favourite roles as a mom.
