Specializations

I specialize in supporting individuals and youth (ages 12+) who experience:

• Intense emotions and rapid mood shifts
• Struggles with identity and self-worth
• Fear of abandonment and relationship difficulties
• Impulsivity, self-harm, or difficulty trusting others

Whether you’ve been diagnosed or are still trying to understand what you’re feeling, therapy with me is warm, validating, and never about labeling—it’s about making sense of your experience with compassion and care.

Trauma isn’t always a single moment. Often, it’s what happens over time—abuse, neglect, systemic harm, or relationships that left you feeling unsafe, unseen, or unworthy.

Complex trauma can disconnect you from your body, your emotions, and even your sense of self. But it doesn’t have to define you.

Together, we’ll explore your story at a pace that feels safe and grounded. Whether you're healing from childhood trauma, intergenerational wounds, or experiences that are hard to name—you don’t have to carry it alone.

Therapy can be a space to reclaim your voice, reconnect with yourself, and move toward the kind of safety and support you may never have had—but always deserved.

With deep respect for the histories, cultures, and lived experiences of Indigenous peoples, I offer culturally safe, trauma-informed care for:

• Survivors of individual, systemic, and intergenerational trauma
• Urban and remote Indigenous communities across Turtle Island
• Clients accessing NIHB and the Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Support Program

This work is guided by an understanding of colonization's ongoing impacts—and grounded in strength, resilience, and community connection. 

For many, healing isn’t just psychological—it’s also deeply personal, relational, and spiritual. I offer space for reflection, growth, and restoration that honours your inner life and the values that guide you.

This may include:
•    Exploring purpose, identity, and what it means to feel whole
•    Processing pain through a lens of compassion, grace, and hope
•    Finding strength in practices that ground and sustain you
•    Reconnecting with your sense of worth, direction, or calling

Whether you're navigating a season of struggle or seeking deeper meaning, therapy can be a place to realign with what matters most—and to heal from a place of depth, not just surface. You are not alone in this work.

I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including:

• DBT, CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy
• Trauma-informed and psychodynamic practices
• Anti-oppressive frameworks
• Measurement-Based Care to ensure your progress is meaningful and personalized

Therapy is never one-size-fits-all. I take a Circle of Care approach, meaning I work alongside the people and systems that support you—elders, families, psychiatrists, teachers, or other service providers—to ensure your healing is connected (with only your consent of course).

Healing doesn’t have to happen in isolation—and you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

Sometimes therapy brings up questions like:

         “Do I need a diagnosis?”
         “Would medication help?”
         “What else is going on here?”

If those thoughts come up, you’re not alone.

I work closely with trusted psychiatrists (through Psychotherapy Matters) to help explore these questions—without pressure or judgment. I’m often part of those sessions as well, helping to provide context and continuity so you don’t feel passed around or left out of the process.

Together, we make sure your voice remains central in every decision—whether it’s about diagnosis, medication, or your next step forward.

It’s all part of the Circle of Care—so you’re held, not handed off.
