Sid Tŝilhqot’in desni, Tŝidedel ghiẑed. I am a Tsilhqot’in person, from Tsideldel (Redstone).
Sid Williams Lake, BC sidah as. I currently live in Williams Lake, BC.
I am Tŝilhqot’in (Chilcotin) and grew up in the community of Tŝideldel (Redstone) on my father’s ancestral land. I am a descendent of Tsilhqot’in (Chilcotin) people, as well as English and Scottish settlers. I acknowledge that the land on which I am grateful to live and work is the ancestral and unceded Secwepemc (pronounced suh-Wep-muhc) territory. This place is also known as Williams Lake, BC.
I have 8 years of post-graduate counselling experience, and am a Register Clinical Counsellor RCC), through the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I completed my undergraduate education at the University of British Columbia (UBC), and an M.Ed. in Counselling at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC). I am committed to supporting communities and empowering individuals to make meaningful changes in their lives toward greater cultural connection, wellness, and healthy interdependence.
I bring a uniquely informed Indigenous perspective to my clinical practice. I am trained and certified in Indigenous Focusing Oriented Therapy (IFOT) & Complex Trauma, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL). I have completed an EMDR Training Course for Integrating EMDR into Clinical Practice. Additionally, as both a certified Peacemaking Circle Keeper and Trainer, and a certified Community Justice Forum (CJF) Trainer and Facilitator, I am committed to the lived-values of Peacemaking and Restorative Justice.
I honour Indigenous ways of knowing and being. As a mental health counsellor, I work with children and youth at an agency in service to Indigenous children and youth (5 – 18 years old), and their families. I have the pleasure of also working in the school setting and do both group and 1:1 work. Many individuals I work with experience intergenerational, historical trauma, and the effects of early trauma on their development. I use culture, land-based practices, movement and breath to support the individuals I work with, to grow in presence and comfort with their own sense of themselves in relation to others, nature and spirit.
