About

I am a proud member of Oneida Nation of the Thames and have mixed Oneida and settler ancestry. I have spent most of my life as an uninvited visitor on the traditional territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ, Songhees, and Esquimalt Peoples (otherwise known as Victoria). I am currently completing my PhD in Clinical and Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto, and am thrilled to join the UVic counselling team as a pre-doctoral resident. In addition to my clinical work, I engage in research projects that primarily focus on Indigenous mental health and healing, gender and sexuality stigma, and post-secondary psychology curricular development. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring nature, and baking. My pronouns are she/her.

Counselling Approach

In my therapeutic approach, I am passionate about working with cultural humility and I welcome cultural and holistic aspects of individuals. I acknowledge the role of systemic factors that contribute to one’s overall sense of wellbeing. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria in which I trained in trauma-informed and interpersonal process therapies. Through my doctoral training, I also integrate aspects of emotion-focused, cognitive behavioural, and dialectical behavioural therapies. I practice from a therapeutically integrative lens and prioritize person-centered care that supports individual agency within a safe therapeutic holding environment. I have supported individuals working through a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, chronic pain, grief and loss, existential identity issues, and life transitions in both hospital and community settings.
