Connect With Me

Who I am and my beliefs

I'm a Registered Social Worker who creates a calm, compassionate space for people to express themselves honestly.

I work with individuals from all backgrounds, including communities who are racialized & marginalized, queer and gender-diverse people, neurodivergent individuals, and those with visible or invisible disabilities.

Approach

Where healing and identity meet

Blending evidence and cultural wisdom

Methods

Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy

My approach blends Indigenous Focusing-Oriented Therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused work. I support people navigating trauma, inter-generational harm, and the places where identity and healing come together.
