Values & Commitments

My practice is grounded in anti-oppressive, trauma-informed values. I work with people of diverse races, ethnicities, gender identities and/or expressions, bodies, disabilities, spiritualities, sexual orientations, and relationship constellations.

Land Acknowledgment

Although I practice virtually throughout Ontario, my office is located on the stolen land of the Algonquin Nation. As a social worker, it is important to acknowledge that my profession has, and continues to, participate in an ongoing process of systemic racism and colonization impacting First Nations, Métis, and Inuit.

I am committed to a lifelong process of decolonizing my practice - continuously reflecting, (un)learning, and adapting how I work to reduce the risk of reproducing colonial harm.

I hold an understanding of healing beyond dominant frameworks, and recognize it as shaped by relationships, community, land, and histories, as well as impacted by structures and systems of power.
