Suk̓ʷəm means “outer cedar bark”
Cedar is a powerful tool and medicine in our culture.
When a cedar tree is stripped of its bark without good intention or being respectful of its beauty and whole being, it is left vulnerable to more harm and pain. The tree as a whole is left weak, making it more difficult to heal.
When a cedar tree is stripped with respect, value, and good intentions then the tree is shown its true beauty and worth as a whole. It is empowered and given the space to heal and grow into a stronger tree.
Humans are very similar in heart and spirit. If open to the process, we would be honoured to work together to heal and grow that outer shell to create a more empowered you.
My Philosophy
I humbly acknowledge that you are the expert of your life, not the clinician. My role as a clinician is to help support and guide the process of healing with you to create meaningful change.
With that, I use my own cultural teachings along with my post-secondary knowledge to provide a safe, friendly, and un-biased space to build a strong therapeutic relationship. I incorporate Indigenous holistic and grounding techniques with some westernized aspects of wellness to find the best therapy practice for you.
