Therapists in M5C
I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in a field that allowed me to work with people and my faith has called me to serve those around me. My education includes a Diploma in Social Service Work from Niagara College, a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Waterloo, and a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University. Growing up, I struggled with reconciling my indigenous identity with the pressures of assimilation and societal expectations. This inner conflict sparked my passion for understanding the complexities of cultural identity and the impact it has on mental health.

As we move through life, we will inevitably run into turbulence that needs navigating. I believe that each individual holds the power within themselves to move forward and achieve desired change. My passion for mental health and human rights has informed my desire to practise psychotherapy. Equipped with a compassionate, culturally sensitive and intersectional approach, I consider all facets of a client's identity and views, as they are contributing factors to their lived experience.

In my view, mental health and well-being are the most important factors at every stage of life.

I believe that personal health encompasses not only the state of the body but our minds, emotions, and thoughts as well. My passion for psychotherapy comes from helping others achieve their goals and fulfill a wholistic picture of health by improving and integrating all areas of their lives. Since I began practicing in the field in 2018, I have discovered that one of the greatest rewards for me is supporting clients in learning new skills and gaining a different perspective often while using a sense of humor. While doing this, my goal is to help them utilize their own strengths and abilities to develop a happier and healthier life.
