Clients can expect a safe, respectful, and welcoming space grounded in cultural understanding and lived experience. As an Indigenous Counsellor, I bring both professional training and personal connection to the work, creating an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and valued.
My approach is client‑centered, meaning sessions move at your pace and are guided by your needs, strengths, and goals. In our work together, you can expect a balance of conversation, reflection, and culturally grounded practices. I integrate a holistic approach that supports emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well‑being.
My work is grounded in trauma‑informed and client‑centered care, with a specialization in intergenerational trauma. I understand how trauma can be carried across generations and how it impacts individuals, families, and communities.I practice compassion, respect, and cultural humility, recognizing that learning is ongoing and that each person’s story, identity, and connection to culture is unique. My approach is holistic, acknowledging the importance of balance between mind, body, and spirit. As a pow wow dancer and someone who attends ceremony, I value the role of culture, land, and tradition in healing. When appropriate and guided by the client, I incorporate cultural ways of knowing and healing into the work.

What does working with Indigenous cultures mean to you?

As a neyihaw iskwew, and Counsellor,  working with Indigenous cultures is deeply personal and rooted in identity, community, and responsibility. It means honoring our teachings, traditions, and ways of knowing, while supporting others in reconnecting with culture in ways that feel safe and meaningful to them.

This work involves recognizing the impacts of colonization and intergenerational trauma, while also uplifting the strength, resilience, and knowledge that exist within our communities.For me, it means walking alongside clients in a good way—offering support without judgment, respecting each person’s journey.
