I am Metis from Treaty 8 territory and MNA Region 1. I have worked within Indigenous communities and non-Indigenous communities for over 15 years. My foundation of practice is based on the belief that “It shouldn’t hurt to be a child.” This applies not only to the children and adolescents I work with; it is also relevant to adults who have carried their early painful experiences into their adult lives that result in ways of coping that block happiness and health.

These practices include Attachment therapy (psychodynamic), Person-centred therapy, play therapy, and Trauma and Neurosystems (NMT Model - Bruce Perry). Addiction treatment; Body-based therapies (critical for trauma); Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-focused therapy; and Cultural training through teachings by Indigenous knowledge keepers, elders, and ceremony.

Individual Counselling, Telehealth Counselling Only, Assessments, IQ Assessments, Child and Youth Therapy, FNIHB Provider,

I had the rare opportunity to begin working with Indigenous individuals in 2014 in remote communities in Northern Quebec. Our goal was to understand how ancestral cultural identity is associated with academic achievement in youth and emotional well-being across the lifespan. As I completed my Master of Arts, I travelled to Alberta and continued to work with Indigenous communities; I learned that the struggles to access support and services reasonably are not limited to Indigenous individuals strictly in remote communities.

I provide counselling, strongly emphasizing flexibility and safety and maintaining a client-centered approach. My focus is to work with clients as they work to overcome their challenges and pursue their goals. As we work together, we may engage in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Self-Regulation Therapy. Most notably, it is to establish a framework that focuses on the fundamentals of counselling. Assessments and therapy are effective tools, providing cultural safety, respect, power imbalances, and rapport have been firmly addressed.

I work to remain mindful of my responsibility when working with individuals who have experienced significant challenges in accessing services and require trauma-supportive support that is culturally congruent and consistent with an individual’s ways of knowing. Regarding Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals, my secondary focus is supporting individuals with atypical developmental profiles, autism spectrum disorder, and behavioral challenges. This includes emphasizing rebuilding foundations, meeting clients where they are, and breaking down large challenges into achievable tasks. ​ Areas of Practice: Addiction, Anxiety, ASD, Behavioral Challenges, Depression, School, Self-Esteem, Stress, Trauma-Informed Care

I was born and raised in British Columbia, and as I age, I find myself gravitating closer to the ocean. I currently reside on the unceded traditional lands of the shíshálh Nation and the Skwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw, now known as the Sunshine Coast.

​

Since April 2011, I have been a Registered Psychiatric Nurse. My career has involved outreach work on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, providing support to youth and adults with concurrent disorders, and offering community mental health services across various communities in Nunavut. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychiatric Nursing.

​

In my counseling practice, I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These modalities allow me to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each individual, helping clients address trauma, reframe their life stories, and challenge unhelpful thought patterns. I believe in a holistic, client-centered approach that fosters healing through collaboration, empowerment, and respect.

​

My work is deeply influenced by my diverse experiences, and I am passionate about providing compassionate care that supports individuals in navigating complex mental health challenges, creating space for transformation and growth.

I want to help them heal from those experiences and help them to integrate them into becoming empowered to live their fullest lives.

Telehealth Services Individual Counselling Trauma-Informed Therapy Grief Anxiety Depression Personality Disorders Interpersonal Issues Learning Difficulties

I provide a warm, caring, and receptive space where I can support you to feel and think in ways that are more helpful. I try to work with my clients in a collaborative way, attuned to your needs, so that you feel heard, understood, and respected. For me, this is fundamental to developing trust, which is essential for you to heal and grow.

I have worked as a Counselling Psychologist for 10 years. My areas of expertise include mild to severe anxiety, depression, grief and loss, interpersonal issues (including relationship struggles), complex trauma, bipolar, schizophrenia, and personality disorders—as well as issues related to physical health and learning difficulties. I have experience working abroad with diverse populations and have had the privilege of working with indigenous people extensively. I’ve practiced in the community, in hospitals, and in prisons.

I am originally from BC, and I completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology in Canada and then I studied abroad due to my strong interest in other cultures and perspectives. Although it was challenging at times being away from home, it was a privilege to learn about other values and traditions which has strengthened my ability to be open-minded and receptive.

I underwent therapy myself as part of my postgraduate training. The experience of therapy is different for everybody, but for me, personally, I admit I found it uncomfortable to expose my vulnerabilities to the therapist. However, the process helped me to grow and to become more genuinely empathic and brave. It also helped me become more resilient when working with other people’s pain and distress. Using a compassionate and client-led approach, I look forward to working together.

Training: My formal training includes Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Counselling at the doctorate level, and accredited training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed approaches.
