My approach

I support youth (12+) and adults through a range of struggles including trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, grief, and self worth. As a woman with both Mohawk and settler ancestry, I support you holistically and balance your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual parts.

My approach is laid-back, warm, and non-judgmental. It's important to me that you feel at ease and I appreciate you showing up as your authentic self. I am honoured to hold space for your most difficult emotions and help you uncover your most loving, protective, genuine parts. I find people fascinating and enjoy being a detective - I'm always searching for connections between your current struggles and how they are rooted in past experiences. 

Whether you visit me at my home office or in the field with the horses, I use a blend of my trainings and experience to build a relationship with you based on trust, empathy, and attunement.

Therapy fees are often covered under benefits/insurance. Please check your coverage.
I am a NIHB provider - if you have Indigenous status your therapy sessions are likely covered under this program. 

Payment can be made through cash, credit card, or e-transfer. A cancellation charge up to the full session fee may be charged if less than 24 hours notice for cancelling an appointment. I appreciate your prompt payment. If there is an unpaid session on the account, future sessions may be cancelled until payment has been made.
