Hello! Aaniin! Bonjour!

I'm ready to help clients with common problems like depression, anxiety, or trouble adapting to life's changes, big or small. Whether you're Settler, Indigenous, or New Canadian, I hold space for you to be your authentic self and to share your unique concerns. Maybe you want to get to the root of a specific problem, need help building communication or emotional skills, or simply want to find a way to manage daily challenges. I specialize in rational emotive behavioural therapy, phase of life problems, and peri- and post-partum care. If you’re struggling, no matter if your issue feels small or overwhelming, I’m ready to help you find your strengths to overcome lifes challenges.

As a Settler Canadian, my therapeutic practice relies on two-eyed seeing, the idea that with one eye, I use Indigenous knowledge, and with the other, I use Western-academic knowledge. With one eye, I hold space for traditional solutions, culturally-safe care, and professional humility; with the other, I hold space for empirical, evidence-based interventions, and person-led, solution-focused, trauma-informed approaches. With one eye, I hold space for those who need therapy that integrates their need for spiritually-informed care; in the other, I hold space for those who need a secular therapeutic approach.

As your psychotherapist, I’m an expert in some things, but you are the expert in your own experience. Your problems are unique to you; you are not a list of textbook symptoms and my approach will likewise not be textbook nor one-size-fits-all. I believe an eclectic approach to psychotherapy is often best; it allows you and I to work together collaboratively in a respect-focused environment to design an intervention approach to help you meet your emotional goals.
