Holistic and Culturally responsive Psychotherapy
“Unless you make the unconscious, conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate” – Carl Jung
As an Indigenous psychotherapist, I offer a compassionate and culturally grounded approach to healing. My practice integrates Indigenous wisdom and western orientated evidence-based therapies, honoring the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, and community. I have specialisms in co-existing problems, Addictions, trauma and family of origin issues, (“children of parents with mental illness and addictions”, COPMIA).
I draw upon a broad and eclectic range of therapeutic modalities in providing a safe and supportive space to explore your inner world and reconnect with your inherent strengths and resilience. Whether you are seeking to heal from past wounds, manage present challenges, or deepen your sense of identity and belonging, I am here to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
I welcome people from all walks of life, offering a collaborative, safe and affirming space where you can feel, seen, heard and safe.
