I respectfully acknowledge that I am located on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Blackfoot, Metis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway/ Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, and many others. Their histories, languages, and cultures continue to influence our vibrant community. As an ally, I am listening, learning, and working to amplify the voices of those who are oppressed.

As a Registered Psychologist, I aim to help my clients achieve their unique goals. There are several paths to doing so, but the foundation of my work is built on my belief that each person is inherently capable of moving through life’s challenges, developing skills and building resiliency, and living a more peaceful, balanced existence.

Did you know that bison do just that! They are unique in that they walk into storms to get to calm weather quickly. In so doing, they endure harsher weather. Their large, furry heads help to protect them as they walk into turbulent weather. The benefit of this behaviour is that they basically “get it over with” and can get back to eating and mating and simply living in a more calm environment. Most other animals, such as deer and cows, either hide or run away from severe weather, leaving them suffering the weather for much longer. 

At Steadfast Psychological Services, I want to encourage you to be the bison in your own life, to face those uncomfortable parts of your story and to move into living a more peaceful and authentic existence.
