Counselor, Marriage & Family Therapist, Psychotherapist and Therapist
Jill seeks to help people find their meaning and joy in life, addressing areas of difficulty that include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, divorce, and bereavement. She works with individuals, couples and families. As a mother to two teen daughters, she is interesting in helping families to find balance to help foster their children’s academic success along with their social and emotional well-being.
Originally from the United States, Jill has been a Hong Kong resident since 2010. Her interest in human cognition and behaviour started in her teens, and she studied psychology at university and post-graduate. Life led her in a different direction to corporate marketing and later photography. She has enjoyed self-employment as a portrait photographer for 15 years. A series of critical life events in 2020/21, including breast cancer treatment and survivorship, resulted in several “light bulb moments” that led her back to psychology and counselling studies.
Jill has a Master of Counselling (Monash University), a Master of Developmental Psychology (Teacher’s College, Columbia University), and a Bachelor of Arts (Comm/Psychology; Central Connecticut State University). She is a member of the Hong Kong Professional Counselling Association, the Hong Kong Society of Counselling and Psychology, and the American Psychological Association. Jill is trained in Gottman couples therapy (Level 2 certification) and is a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP).
