Hi, I’m Jade ✨
I’m a mental health therapist, deep-feeler, over-thinker, problem solver, and firm believer that healing doesn’t have to mean becoming someone else — sometimes it means finally becoming yourself.

I work with gifted adults, high achievers, creatives, neurodivergent humans, and people who are exhausted from carrying the weight of being “the strong one.” My therapy style is compassionate, honest, collaborative, and grounded in real human connection. I care deeply about helping people untangle anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, trauma, identity struggles, self-worth, and the parts of themselves they’ve had to hide to survive.

Outside of therapy, you’ll usually find me:
📖 reading
🍪 baking
🥊 lifting weights or boxing
🎨 starting a new crafting project I may never finish
☕ drinking coffee while planning twelve projects at once
🐾 hanging out with my Scottish terriers, Cookie & Cricket
🥾 hiking in the mountains

I believe:
• boundaries are kindness
• healing and ambition can coexist
• softness is not weakness
• growth is messy and still beautiful
• people deserve spaces where they feel deeply seen and connected

If you’re looking for a therapist who balances insight with authenticity, structure with warmth, and depth with humor — welcome. 👋 I’m glad you’re here. 💛

You’ve worked hard to create a successful life, yet something feels off.

Maybe you find yourself holding back—hiding what you truly think and feel, not just from others but even from yourself. You carefully manage how you're perceived, making sure no one questions, no one sees too much. You anticipate everyone’s needs, ensuring you meet expectations with ease. On the outside, you’re thriving.

But inside, it’s exhausting.

You’re constantly doing—spinning plates, keeping up the pace, carrying the weight of responsibility. Overwhelmed, overstimulated, tired but too wired to rest, you reach for distractions just to keep going.

Your mind never stops, yet your heart feels distant—disconnected, like it hasn’t moved in years.

This isn’t the life you envisioned.

At Gifted Minds Counseling, we help you reconnect—with yourself, your emotions, and the life you truly want. Using research-based, compassionate therapy, we create a space where you can explore what’s been hidden, release what no longer serves you, and move toward a life of wholeness, authenticity, and balance.

You don’t have to keep pushing through—you can live fully, freely, and wholeheartedly. Let’s begin this journey together.

Helping you reconnect with yourself, your emotions, and the life you truly want. Using research-based, compassionate therapy, we create space to explore what’s been hidden & no longer serves you & move toward a life of wholeness, authenticity, & balance.
