Ama Sqit (Good day), my traditional name is Kakeeka and I am St’at’imc and Ojibway. I am a; mother, daughter, sister, auntie, cousin, niece, friend, and an Indigenous Mental Health Clinician.
Focusing on holistic health, I strive to embed traditional ways of being and knowing with western knowledge systems to support and walk alongside those on their healing journeys. With a heavy focus on the therapeutic relationship, my foundations are in person-centered therapy, however, other modalities and techniques may be helpful and incorporated, such as solution-focused therapy and narrative therapy. Working in partnerships with my clients, we focus on finding and maintaining balance, while working towards healing and growth.

Kalhwá7aľap (hello). I am a member of the Xaxli’p First Nation in the St’at’imc territory. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree, Bachelor of Education degree, Master of Counselling degree, and I am a registered clinical counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. Registration #21626.
I offer counselling that is holistic, offered from an Indigenous perspective that is strength-based, person-centered and community-focused. My background in education and community service work has contributed to a diverse skill set that supports a range of individual and group challenges: anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, gender, sexuality, trauma, and relationship concerns. Traditional healing practices (for example, hand drumming, community-focused healing, connecting to ancestral wisdom), in addition to modern therapeutic techniques help to uncover the courage that resides within.
Harm caused by colonization has long-standing impacts on Indigenous people, however, we all hold gifts that when discovered (or uncovered) have the ability to nourish our root system and help us heal from past and current challenges. By entering into ceremony together in a trauma-informed respectful way,
we can work together to develop insight, skills, and holistic balance.
