With deep respect and gratitude, I live and work as a counsellor on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Tsleil-Waututh, and Musqueam Nations. I honour their enduring connection to the land, waters, and community, and recognize my responsibility to engage in ongoing reflection and action toward decolonizing my practice.
