Therapists near Slave Lake helping Veterans with Communication Skills

My social work practice comes from a client centered approach to care, with a focus on trauma awareness, ensuring that my clients feel safe in the therapeutic relationship we are developing, which is imperative for healing. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBSR), I can draw from an eclectic combination of therapeutic skills and models to further support you with your health and wellness goals. As a First Nations woman, grounded in Indigenous Ways of Being, I am also able to utilize my Cree cultural teachings to further support others upon request. My passion for Health and Wellness began as a personal inquiry, interested in human behaviour and how people overcome life adversities. My formal educational training began with a Social Work Diploma (2000), Emergency Medical Responder Certificate (2005), Practical Nurse Diploma (2016), and a Bachelor of Social Work Degree (2021). Next, I will be graduating with a Master of Clinical Social Work, specializing in Trauma Informed Care in June 2026, from the University of Calgary, Alberta. I have worked in the health and social services sectors of Alberta for over 25 years.
