Ecce Psychotherapy

I am based out of Guelph, which is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Attiwonderonk (Neutral) people, Haudenosaunee, Anishinabek, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Treaty - an agreement to share our resources with one another, and to be responsible with this land and to each other. As a psychotherapist, I recognize the extreme harm that has been and is still being done to Indigenous people groups, particularly across Turtle Island, by mental health professionals, and the role that psychotherapy and psychology have played in devaluing traditional knowledge, and creating a hierarchy of healing - while also appropriating different Indigenous healing practices through a colonial lens. As a settler (non-Indigenous) and a healthcare practitioner, I am dedicated to improve my understanding of Indigenous culture through past and present, to care for this land and the people who live with it, and to decolonize the practice of psychotherapy.
