I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and a registered service provider for the First Nations Health Authority in private practice since 1995. During this time I have been assisting individuals overcome a diverse range of issues including but not limited to problems in relationships, grief and loss, conflict, anxiety, depression, trauma, panic disorders, life transitions and other concerns that may prevent a person from leading a fulfilling and healthy life. Through a holistic approach, I help clients find a balance within their emotional, mental, physical and spiritual selves.

For over a decade I provided mental health services as a psychosocial rehabilitation practitioner, assisting adults with major mental health issues to enhance their level of functioning and enjoy the quality of life they deserve and desire. With improved life skills, a person can enjoy a sense of fulfillment in daily life, and an improved sense of wellness. In addition, I have worked extensively in community mental health outreach and crisis intervention, and since 1998, I have become a specialist in the field of Indian Residential School trauma, providing services to former students and generational survivors.

My practice emphasizes the importance of understanding each individual’s root issues and early life experiences that may have contributed to the current problem being experienced. This understanding will enable the person to identify emotional triggers and develop skills to effectively reduce the impact by managing emotional reactions in a positive way, and be better equipped to work towards having a balanced and emotionally fulfilling life. I believe we are all capable of being empowered to make even small changes to achieve goals we want to pursue in our personal lives, with the positive result of developing a sense of wellbeing and happiness that we deserve.
