I work with Indigenous clients facing intergenerational trauma, addiction, or criminal justice involvement. My clients may also be coping with grief, violence, identity, substance use, or major life changes. They seek healing, balance, and cultural connection. As an Anishinaabe practitioner, I offer a holistic, relational approach that honors the whole person—mind, body, spirit, emotions, and relationships—supporting each client in reclaiming strength, identity, and well-being.

A client asked me once: Is therapy just TALKING? In a way it is. Just talking ... words, words, words. Sometimes words are meaningless and pointless. They lead to conflicts, misunderstandings, hurt, pain, crises. What could happen when words are meaningful, relevant, clear, aimed at understanding you and the other? What difference would it make when the right words are spoken, and they are heard at the right time? Would they make your wants, needs, wishes and dreams more real and attainable?

Living in a rural community, I have learned to be adaptive in my approach to psychotherapy. I work with couples and individuals, varying in age from 12 onward, across many domains. My special interests lean toward working with clients who are neurodiverse, and those who struggle in their relationship with food and body, anxiety and self-esteem. I don't think of 'wellness' as prescriptive- it must be a feeling of security and peace that we develop and hold within ourselves. That's why my philosophy of care includes setting a pace that fits your needs and helping you develop your own feelings of empowerment and self-growth.

You might be moving through a transition and time in your life that feels tender, overwhelming, or hard to name. Maybe you are navigating a breakup, workplace stress, gender-affirming care, coming out, medical recovery, or hormonal changes. You may be impacted by your mental health, and feel tired of holding everything together on your own. I understand how vulnerable it can feel when the ground shifts beneath you, and I am here to support. I bring many years of experience in front-line, trauma and therapy roles, along with my own lived experience moving through significant life and medical changes.
