Summary
As an Indigenous Social Worker that provides psychotherapy, I understand the deep impact of intergenerational trauma, systemic injustice, and the ongoing journey of reclaiming identity and wellness. I offer a space that is grounded in respect, cultural safety, and relationship where your story is honored. I support individuals who are ready to explore their stories, reconnect with their identity, and begin healing from the impacts of trauma, intergenerational pain, or cultural disconnection.
Social work professional with robust background in providing comprehensive support to individuals and families. Skilled in developing and implementing tailored intervention plans to address specific needs. Strong focus on team collaboration and achieving impactful outcomes, adaptable to evolving circumstances.
