My patrilineal family are Anishinaabe from Walpole Island First Nation, and my matrilineal roots are Settler — Irish-English Newfoundlander from Newfoundland and Labrador. My spirit name means “merger between both worlds,” and I carry the teachings of the Turtle Clan with me in all that I do.
I walk with wholistic ways of being, knowing, and doing in both life and work. I've been in community work and youth support since I was a teen, and for over 12 years I've worked in the areas of sexual violence awareness, advocacy, and support.
My path is grounded in anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-sanist, anti-colonial, and anti-oppressive values. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative journey — one rooted in care, reflection, empowerment, and wholistic healing. While traditional therapy often centers individual healing, I deeply value the power of collective care and community-based approaches to wellness.
My vision is to walk alongside kin on their paths through trauma, resilience, healing, and belonging. I support this journey by offering individual counseling, group supports, workshops, toolkits, and opportunities for reflection and growth.

How do I view the Healing Journey?
I welcomes anyone who wants to process trauma and its impact on mental wellness and wholeness to connect and see if they would be a good fit for you. Everyone deserves to have space for the grief and complex feelings of experiencing life. Everyone deserves to be cherished and cared for amid stress and celebration.
I hope to give a gentle space for people to feel heads, seen, valued and cared for.
I also have a systemic approach, understanding systemic oppression and its implications on Indigenous, queer and BIPOC communities. I draw from Indigenous, Intersectional Feminist, and Queer pedagogies to centre empowerment of individuals' personal journeys. They also recognize the role of cultural, spiritual, relational, environmental, and social experiences, how stressors and trauma impact humans, and how we walk on a holistic healing path.
If you’re seeking a compassionate, relational, and culturally-inclusive approach to healing
I welcome you to connect and explore whether working together feels like the right fit.
We experience healing when we feel we belong
I hold a Master of Social Work (Indigenous Field of Study) from Wilfrid Laurier University, Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Gender Studies and a Bachelor of Social Work from Memorial University . My practice is grounded in trauma-informed and anti-oppressive values, including anti-racist, anti-colonial, anti-ableist, and anti-sanist and 2SLGBTQIA+ approaches.
I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process. I will aim to support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom, processing trauma, building self-trust, and finding space for wholeness and care.
I believe everyone deserves space to process pain and joy, to be seen, heard, and honoured in their full humanity.
