Book an Appointment at Noojimo - Newfoundland & Labrador

Please note that counselling is regulated on a provincial and territorial basis in Canada. In order for a clinician to be able to see you for your confidential virtual mental health counselling, you must choose a clinician who is licensed to practice in the province or territory where you live. If you happen to choose a clinician outside of the province/territory where you live, your appointment will be cancelled.

If you have a First Nation status number or an N number, you may be eligible to receive up to 22 hours of counselling each year through the National Indigenous Health Benefits (NIHB) program. Most of our clinicians are registered with the NIHB program, but please confirm prior to booking. If you aren’t sure, call our Office Auntie at 1-833-277-5678 to learn more.

Veuillez noter que les services de consultation sont réglementés au niveau provincial et territorial au Canada. Pour bénéficier d’une consultation virtuelle confidentielle en santé mentale, vous devez choisir un professionnel autorisé à exercer dans la province ou le territoire où vous résidez. Si vous choisissez un professionnel à l’extérieur de votre province ou territoire de résidence, votre rendez-vous sera annulé.

Si vous possédez un numéro de statut des Premières Nations ou un numéro N, vous pourriez avoir droit à un maximum de 22 heures de consultation par année grâce au Programme des services de santé nationaux pour les Autochtones (SSNA). La plupart de nos professionnels sont inscrits au programme des SSNA, mais veuillez le confirmer avant de prendre rendez-vous. En cas de doute, n’hésitez pas à communiquer avec notre responsable au 1-833-277-5678 pour obtenir plus de renseignements.

I am a trauma- informed culturally sensitive Indigenous Clinician with 20 years of professional level experience as well as extensive and meaningful personal practice in resilience. Safety and confidentiality are of highest importance to me. I provide a safe and non-judgemental space that allows you to come to therapy just as you are. My approach is warm, inviting, careful and thoughtful. I remember details and take care with your story. I aim to help you develop rhythms that help you realign when things feel out of balance.

I am committed to lifelong learning and to providing culturally safe, compassionate, and client-centred care that honours the unique experiences and strengths of every individual.

The principles guiding my practice are respect, compassion, cultural humility, authenticity, trust, and self-determination. I believe that every person carries inherent strengths and wisdom and I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered.

My approach is collaborative and honours each persons lived experience, identity, values, and goals. Through a holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach I recognize that wellness involves the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of life and that healing looks different for every individual. I work collaboratively with clients to build on their strengths, develop resilience, and create meaningful change through an anti-oppressive lens but also incorporating interventions from various approaches when appropriate.

Some of the gifts I bring to my practice include compassionate listening, genuine presence, empathy, curiosity, humility and a safe environment. I understand that the effects of colonization and systemic inequities continue to influence the health and well-being of many Indigenous Peoples. My practice is grounded in cultural safety, trauma-informed care, and a deep respect for Indigenous ways of knowing, recognizing the resilience, knowledge, and strengths that have always existed.
