My Approach
Centering you, your voice and your experience
I believe in your right to dignity and empowerment. I work with you, centering your knowledge and experience. My counselling practice comes from a trauma-informed stance and I am guided by cognitive-behavioural therapy and feminist consciousness-raising. I also draw on integrative approaches such as art, mindfulness, and somatic experiencing depending on your needs. Click here to learn more.
I bow as I remember the pain, suffering, and trauma my people inflict on BIPOC. I graciously thank keepers of the land on which I work, heal, love and play, the Anishinaabe nation. I proudly and humbly apologize for the tragedies my ancestors inflicted on the indigenous peoples of Kanata and BIPOC. It was and is not okay. I am committed to being part of the change. Here is how.
