I use a number of therapeutic approaches based on the needs of my the individuals in my care. I pride myself in using unique modalities to suit my client’s individual needs – including expressive art (drawing, painting, collage etc), writing/journalling, outdoor activities (nature walks, basketball etc), hobby building (model kits), board games, traditional practices (sweat lodge, smudging, use of sweetgrass and tobacco on request) and vision boards.

I work from person-centered framework that is tailored to the needs of the individuals that I am working with. This helps to ensure that my clients are always treated with dignity, compassion and respect.
