A Little About Me

I’m a proud Métis woman and neurodivergent social worker, here to support individuals, families, and professionals as they navigate life’s ups and downs. I understand firsthand that reaching out takes courage, so I admire your strength in being here. You’re not alone in feeling lost, uncertain, or overwhelmed. And you’re not alone in wanting more—whether that’s peace of mind, stronger relationships, or simply reconnecting with yourself. If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken a meaningful step toward feeling better. Together, we’ll work toward the life you’re hoping for..

Why I Do This Work

I believe in the power of connection—with yourself and with others. My own journey of self-work and seeking support has shaped how I show up for my clients today. As a Métis woman and a neurodivergent social worker, I bring a unique perspective and a deep respect for each person’s story. I honor the wisdom in your experiences and approach each person with respect and curiosity, especially when working with Indigenous individuals and communities. I understand the importance of cultural connection and honoring roots in the healing process. Whether you’re facing mental health challenges, working through grief, or wanting to improve relationships, I’m here to walk beside you, exploring ways to feel better, together..

Who I work with

I work with people who are dedicated to helping others—empathetic, caring individuals who often put everyone else’s needs before their own. These helpers, whether they’re in caring professions, natural caregivers, or empaths, carry a deep sense of responsibility. Many come to me during tough times—grief, anxiety, big life changes, or relationship struggles—while others just feel that something’s “off” but can’t quite put their finger on it. Together, we work to find clarity, restore balance, and reconnect with their well-being so they can keep thriving in all areas of life..

My Approach

My approach is rooted in respect, collaboration, and kindness. I don’t have all the answers—you do. But sometimes, the right questions from someone outside your situation can help you unpack what’s really going on. I draw on different modalities tailored to each client, helping you reconnect with your own strengths and insights. Together, we’ll build a plan that works for you, grounded in trust and safety. You’re the expert in your life, and I’m here to walk beside you as you explore what feeling better looks like..

I believe

  • You are the wisest person you know. You’ve lived your life, felt your emotions, and experienced what has shaped you. My role is to help you rediscover that wisdom and trust yourself again.
  • Kindness is essential. To feel better, we have to start with kindness toward ourselves. I believe that kindness—both toward yourself and others—is at the heart of every positive shift we can make.
  • Connection matters. Therapy and coaching are both about building strong, supportive relationships. How we relate to one another will be the foundation for your growth. This means being real, honest, and compassionate toward each other. The relationship you build with me is one of the most important factors in your success.
The Process

Therapy is a journey, and my role is to walk with you—at your pace. I believe in the power of small steps and steady progress. Whether it’s improving self-esteem, navigating complex relationships, or finding peace with your emotions, we will take it one step at a time.

In our sessions, we will work on:

  • Building self-awareness: Understanding your strengths and where you can grow.
  • Improving communication: Building better relationships with others—and with yourself.
  • Developing coping skills: Moving through difficult emotions like grief, anxiety, and depression with practical strategies that work for you.
  • Creating action plans: Coaching allows us to turn insights into actionable steps that move you closer to your goals in a focused and intentional way.

Feeling better isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about reconnecting with your own ability to manage, adapt, and thrive, even through challenging times.

Together, we’ll explore how you can feel more aligned, more authentic, and more at peace with yourself and your relationships. If the time feels right for you, I’m excited to begin this journey together.
