Hello!
I am so happy that you found your way here...
​It takes courage to reach out for support—especially when challenges feel deeply personal or tied to your identity. As a Queer Indigenous therapist, I understand the complexities of navigating identity and the ways these experiences can shape the mental well-being of individuals, families, youth, and communities. Whether you are wrestling with ancestral trauma, struggling to find belonging in an unwelcoming world, or simply seeking understanding, you don’t have to face it alone.​
​
​How we might work together...
Imagine stepping into a space where every part of your identity is not only acknowledged but celebrated. Here, your journey of self-discovery is met with compassion, curiosity, and validation. I am committed to creating an environment where your truth is honored and your experiences are valued. You are encouraged to embrace every facet of who you are.​
​
In our sessions, I welcome conversations about race, class, gender, sexuality, dis/ability, and more. My approach is integrative, weaving Indigenous healing practices with trauma-informed care, mindfulness, body awareness, and neurobiology. I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” model—how we work together will always depend on what feels supportive and effective for you. Together, we’ll explore your story, reclaim what’s been lost, and chart a path toward healing, resilience, and a greater sense of grounding.​
​
Beyond Individual Therapy
​
Alongside counseling, I also work with organizations and professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of decolonization and the history of Indigenous Peoples. Through trainings, consultation, and supervision, I help organizations foster more culturally safe and responsive practices in the present day.​​​
​
Taking the First Step
​
If anything here resonates with you, know that healing is not a solo mission, it’s a collaborative journey. I invite you to reach out and book a free 15-minute consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit. Your journey matters, and you deserve to be supported every step of the way.​​​
Professional Journey
My educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Boston and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Salem State University. I grew up attending pow wows with my family and am both a Jingle Dress and Fancy Shawl Dancer, which continue to root me in culture and community.
​
For over 10 years, I have worked as both a systemic advocate through research and as a frontline worker supporting marginalized communities. I am deeply passionate about elevating the voices of those who are too often unheard or overlooked.
​
Before entering private practice, I worked in the Boston area as a youth and outreach worker supporting young people at risk of or experiencing sexual exploitation. During my Master’s program, I completed clinical internships at a group home for LGBTQ+ youth in the foster care system and at a Veterans Affairs Hospital in an outpatient primary care setting.
​
These experiences eventually led me back to working closely with my Indigenous community. For the past three years, I have been part of a nonprofit organization serving Indigenous youth, and I also served on the Board of Directors at QMUNITY, an LGBTQ2s+ nonprofit in Vancouver, BC.
