Hi! I am a social worker whose work has been shaped by years of supporting people living with grief, caregiving responsibilities, and the emotional weight of systems that often fail to care for those who give the most. Much of my career has been spent working alongside Indigenous individuals and communities, experiences that continue to inform my commitment to culturally responsive, relational, and justice-aware practice. I spent many years working full time with Kahnawà:ke Shakotiia’takehnhas Community Services’, where I provided therapy and support to elders and their families. In addition to my education and training as a social worker, I also hold Giwiidosendamin and Giwiidabindimin (responding to addictions, suicide, trauma, and grief through decolonized practices) certificates.
I am deeply skeptical of one-size-fits-all approaches to healing & support. I do not rush people toward “fixes,” timelines, or performative resilience. Instead, I offers a grounded, thoughtful space where complex emotions, contradictions, and unfinished stories are welcome. My work centres dignity, autonomy, and meaning-making, particularly for people who have felt misunderstood, pathologized, or pressured to move on before they were ready. I specialize in grief of all forms, child loss, intergenerational trauma, life transitions, men’s issues, and burnout.
In my work with couples, partnerships, and meaningful relationships, I offer therapeutic support that is relational, attachment-informed, and inclusive of non-monogamous, polyamorous, queer, and other non-conventional relationship structures. I support partners in navigating rupture, betrayal, and disconnection with honesty and care, focusing on repair rather than blame. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment-based approaches, my work prioritizes emotional safety, nervous system awareness, and real moments of engagement, recognizing that skills alone rarely hold when emotions run high. My goal is to help partners understand their patterns, reconnect with one another, and move forward in ways that feel authentic, respectful, and aligned with their values.
I am a registered provider through IVAC and NIHB. If eligible, these programs could give you access to therapy for free.
