A safe place for healing
Be Heard
Healing begins when people feel "heard" . Who better to hold witness to your story than another Indigenous person, someone who will listen with respect and honour your story, someone who will use a combination of learned therapeutic techniques and traditional Indigenous teachings to guide you on your personal journey to healing.
Trauma Informed
I come from a place of lived experience and learning.
Because of this, I always work from a trauma informed approach.
Support
Support
I will do my best to be there for you on your journey.
My only goal is to help you achieve yours. Whether you want to manage your anxiety or depression, break free from old patterns, free yourself from intimate partner violence, or heal your inner child, whatever your goals are - I can help you achieve them.
For the Indigenous.
Cultural Safety
As an Indigenous clinician I offer you a safe space. You will find no racism or judgement here.
You will find only grace and empathy, compassion and understanding, respect and confidentiality.
