Meet Skye

I am a PhD candidate with 10 years of clinical experience working with Queer and Indigenous clients in a variety of programmatic settings. I utilize a genuinely warm, humorous, and direct approach to gently challenge clients and invite them to step out of their current comfort zone and step into authentic living. I advocate for culturally conscious and meaningful practices and ways of being (e.g., language revitalization, basketweaving, ceremonial practices, song and dance, traditional tattooing and piercing, etc) as ways to actively address mental health concerns.

I utilize a genuinely warm, humorous, and direct approach to gently challenge clients and invite them to step out of their current comfort zone.
