I am a Registered Social Worker (#2365) with the Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers (SASW) and have my Masters of Education Psychology from the University of Regina where I specialized in working with at-risk and marginalized clients with complex needs. I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Philosophy with the Faulty of Education at the University of Regina.

My counselling & therapeutic practice and philosophy are based upon my worldview as an Indigenous woman. My research into Indigenous epistemologies indicates that Indigenous professionals who have strong cultural ties and practices are able to provide a culturally-appropriate and relevant counselling and therapeutic experience, especially when working with First Nations and Métis clients.

Indigenous professionals provide insight into First Nations and Métis culture, heritage, traditions, beliefs, values and ceremonies. We are also able to work with our clients using a variety of First Nations and Métis practices such as talking and sharing circles, medicine wheel teachings, land-based activities, access to Elders and Knowledge Keepers, daily reflection, storytelling, and other valuable knowledge and expertise.

I have spent the past ten years working directly with children, youth and families, utilizing an integrated service model based upon “holistic practice.”
