Indigenous Mental Health

Walking alongside your healing journey

Healing is deeply personal, and no two journeys are the same.

I recognize that many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit individuals, families, and communities continue to live with the impacts of historical and intergenerational trauma. These experiences may affect emotional well-being, relationships, identity, trust, and connection across generations. Healing often takes time, courage, and the support of safe, respectful relationships.

A culturally safe space

As a Registered Social Worker and Canadian Certified Counsellor, I am committed to providing a compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally humble space where you are welcomed just as you are. Through continuing education workshops and ongoing professional development, I strive to deepen my understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, and the importance of culturally safe care. I recognize that I am continually learning, and I approach this work with humility, respect, and a willingness to listen.

My role is not to tell you how to heal, but to follow your lead as you discover your own path forward. Together, we can explore the experiences that have shaped your life, build on your strengths, and reconnect with the resilience that has always been within you.

Healing involves the whole person

I believe healing involves the whole person — mind, body, emotions, relationships, and spirit. I also believe that the wisdom held within your body, your family, your community, and your cultural traditions can be powerful sources of healing. When it feels meaningful to you, I welcome conversations about spirituality, cultural identity, connection to the land, ceremony, Elders, or other sources of strength that are important in your life.

Whether you are navigating trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply seeking a place where you can be heard and understood, you do not have to walk this journey alone.

I offer counselling from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, on Treaty 4 territory — the original lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Nakoda, and Lakota peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. As much of my work is online, I recognize that you may be joining from your own territory, and I hold respect for the lands and communities that carry you.
