JANrx, in partnership with Pharmacann Clinic, has long been a trusted name in veteran healthcare through medical cannabis. We’re proud to now extend that same dedicated support to all first responders across Canada.

For over a decade, we’ve supported Canadian veterans through:

• Free medical consultations
• Access to psychiatrists, pain specialists, and other healthcare professionals
• Personalized cannabis treatment plans for pain management, neurological and psychological conditions

Our clinical and psychiatric team uses an evidence-based approach to support the management of:

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Chronic pain and inflammation
• Cognitive impairment
• Anxiety and depression
• Sleep disorders

We are honoured to work alongside respected veteran and first responder support organizations, including:

• Boots on the Ground
• Light for Veterans
• Spartan Wellness
• The Royal Canadian Legion

The JANrx team is here to provide veterans and first responders access to personalized, accessible, and stigma-free care.

I specialize in supporting individuals with mood disorders, PTSD, complex PTSD, and trauma. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, somatic therapy, psychedelic integration, yoga, and breathwork. I provide weekly individual therapy for people healing from trauma and collaborate with a medical clinic to offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy alongside ketamine infusions. In addition, I facilitate multi-day trauma intensives that integrate extended EMDR sessions with psychedelic work. These programs are designed to help first responders process significant traumatic experiences that have been difficult to resolve with other approaches.
