Finding the Help You Deserve
…born in The Pas, Manitoba and raised in Canada’s North, the Indigenous worldview is something that I hold close and continues to guide me in everything I do. Third in a line of nine children and socialized in small, isolated communities, I learned at a very young age the value of simple basic truths. Aligned with cultural teachings, I define myself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually and attend to each of these parts of myself daily. When life gets complicated, as it often does, I have learned to simplify by returning to these core values. As your counsellor, my intention is to be guided by your needs; to meet you where you are currently with genuine empathy and positive regard for your person. I will purposefully work to provide a safe and confidential place where we can explore the possibilities in change. I will foster a collaborative approach toward assessing what is troubling you, identifying goals as well as ways to achieve them, and essentially realizing the change you want to see. I have 25+ years experience working with young people, adults, couples, and families. While I consider myself a generalist, I have expertise in identity work, grief and loss, learning development, depression, & anxiety. Can't wait to work together! Your first session is free.
