Acceptance and Respect

  • Celebrating diversity in all its forms, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual  orientation, ability, age, socioeconomic background, and spiritual beliefs

 

Cultural Humility

  • Recognizing my own cultural limitations and biases

  • Continuously learning and growing in my understanding of different cultural experiences

  • Providing trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care

 

Anti-Oppressive Practice

  • Active commitment to identifying and challenging systemic barriers

  • Creating a non-judgmental environment that validates each person's experiences

  • Supporting clients in navigating complex social and personal challenges

Accessibility

  • Offering multiple communication methods

  • Sliding scale options

  • Ensuring physical and virtual spaces are accessible to individuals with diverse abilities

 

My practice is a safe space for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC communities, neurodivergent individuals, and anyone seeking compassionate, personalized mental health support.

We acknowledge that our therapy practice rests on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples. We recognize that this land has been a place of healing and care for thousands of years. As mental health practitioners, we honour the enduring relationship between Indigenous peoples and these lands, and we commit to practices that respect this legacy while working toward reconciliation and healing.
