I provide culturally informed non-judgemental services, situated in Anishinaabe ways of seeing, being, knowing and doing. As a mental health and mindfulness practitioner, I welcome all community members (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) who may be struggling with mental health, addictions, trauma, loss, cultural and identity issues that are negatively impacting your well being.
With thirty years of experience in a variety of settings in the helping field, I offer psychotherapeutic services that are grounded in Anishinaabe wholistic healing wise practices and western knowledges.
Together, we can determine which approach(es) will best support your healing journey in a brave, gentle space.
