I assist clients through life transitions, depression, anxiety, and trauma recovery. My commitment is to create a safe space in which memories, and future concerns can be unloaded. My previous military career provides an in depth understanding of challenges faced by front line workers. I specialize in VAC assessments, and I have an in depth understanding of VAC policies, and benefits. My life experiences provide a unique empathetic understanding of trauma, PTSD, and how unplanned events, and life transitions can affect day to day wellbeing. I am also a mixed race family, with a Cree ᐨᕒᐁᐁ daughter. Welcome ᐍᓬᒍᒣ.
My role is to work with you towards better life balance applying research-based techniques. I use Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. I work with clients who have PTSD, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger management issues.
I continue to develop my counselling skills through research, and training. I work with a diversely skilled team of psychologists committed to providing in depth treatment plans tailored to individual client needs. We all have times of challenge and struggle. No person should struggle alone, solutions are within reach. Lets work together.
