As a Master Level Social Worker and Certified Yoga Teacher, my therapeutic style is wholistic.
In my ten-plus year’s experience, I have witnessed within everyone I have worked with the
innate desire to return to wholeness, connectedness as pack animals and spiritual
beings. Traversing between the internal landscape of one’s body-mind-emotions-spirit and the
wider external systems that impact an individual, such as culture, community, socioeconomics,
family, and beyond are all important touch points for us to explore.

I am specialized in treating complex trauma, intergenerational trauma. I am also experienced in working with
those living with depression, anxiety, persistent pain, and substance use struggles, which are often rooted
in trauma.

The majority of my career, I have had tremendous opportunities and the honour to work with
First Nations communities, from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory to Nuxalk Territory, in
publicly funded mental health clinician roles before moving into my current private practice.

There is medicine within the healing wisdom of our bodies. There is medicine in relationship, be
it with nature, culture, one another, and the self. Part of our work together is to (re)connect and
(re)discover the abundance of medicine within us and all around us; often called resources in psychotherapy. I support persons to
access the wisdom of their bodies, the parts of the body that know how to heal old and
unconscious patterns that are interfering with living a fuller life.
