I am a wife, daughter, sister, friend, and mother to my horse, Santé, and my dogs, Milo and Scout. I am Mohawk of Kahnawake from my mother’s side and have settler ancestry from my father’s side. I connected with my Indigenous identity in my early 20’s and am still learning about it every day.

I was raised in Pickering, Ontario but grew roots in Hamilton, Ontario when I went to school at McMaster University. I’m an introvert who is often described as quiet and thoughtful but with a silly sense of humour once you get to know me. I’m a feminist, an animal-lover, an ally to the LGBTQ2+ community, and a very concerned citizen about mother earth’s changing climate. When I’m not working you’ll find me spending time at the barn, reading, hiking, and beading.

With over thirteen years in the social work field I have in-depth knowledge about mental health, trauma, and issues specific to Indigenous people. I started my part-time private practice in 2017 and jumped into my full-time practice in January 2020.
