We want to ensure all concerns are heard and that our students feel supported. We also encourage students to seek support from these amazing local organizations.

Jenna has extensive knowledge and experience from the Sexual Assault Response Team, Victim Assistance Unit, Elder Abuse Response Team, and currently in the Emergency Department. She also has experience providing individual and group counselling, as well as program development.
With over 20 years of dance experience, Jenna’s private practice specializes in supporting youth and adults involved or previously involved in the dance and performance community. Participating in a performance and training environment has its benefits, but it can also create unique stressors. Counselling can help stressors such as body image/eating disorders, competitive anxiety, generalized depression, bullying, suicidality, and sexual misconduct.
30-Minute Counselling Sessions are free to all illFX Students. Scan the QR code to contact Jenna directly.
DISCLAIMER: This counselling is available to allow safe disclosures for sexual misconduct, as well as to receive brief, solution focused support. Please note that if the disclosure includes a criminal act that occurred while someone was not within the age of consent, or the alleged offender was in a position of trust, the therapist may have to act accordingly and report to the appropriate authorities. If the alleged offender is an employee of illFX, the instructor’s name will be forwarded to the directors for appropriate action, while the student information and identity will be protected by the therapist.
