About Me
Ink & Blot Psychological Services
Welcome to Ink & Blot Psychological Services, home of Registered Psychologist Dr. Jennifer Arpink.
Jennifer was born and raised in Surrey, BC. She attended Kwantlen Polytechnic University where she earned a Bachelor’s of Applied Arts in Psychology. After a brief interlude, she went to the University of Regina for her Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology. Always one to take the scenic route, it was then time to return to BC to complete her Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology at the University of British Columbia (Okanagan). She completed her pre-doctoral Internship with the Correctional Service of Canada at Collins Bay Institution in Kingston, Ontario. After graduation, she worked at Back in Motion (Abbotsford clinic) providing general psychological services and specialized trauma therapy to clients who were off work due to psychological conditions. She valued all these experiences and learning opportunities and brings a wealth of training and experience to the table as a clinician. She is well-rounded, down to earth, very direct in her communication, and unwavering in her support for her clients.
