Before counselors, there were aunties, uncles, community, cultural and old ones—wise knowledge keepers whose lived experiences and congruence guided the way. I was not raised with elders, parents, or siblings, leaving significant voids in my early development. As a child, I turned to the land, the winged ones, the four-legged, the rocks, the waters, the winds, and the skies. These were my elders, my aunties, and they taught me in silence and song, though I also lost myself in the process.

As a proud Michif woman, my Red River family lineage lives in Bresaylor, Sask and St. Francis Xavier, Manitoba. Our family names are Sayers, Beauchamp, Gonneville, and Frobisher, all with deeply rooted Indigenous hearts. It is from this foundation that I invite you to return to the wise teachings of our ancestors. I encourage you to seek quality community care, listen to the rhythm of your own heart, and create healthy, vibrant relationships with yourself, others, and Mother Earth.

With extensive experience in the field of addiction counseling, I hold multiple respected certifications and designations, including Canadian Addictions Counselor, Counselor Supervisor, and Canadian Clinical Supervisor – Addictions Counselor. In addition to these credentials, I am a Master Therapeutic Counselor, equipped with advanced skills to navigate complex therapeutic challenges and an international award-winning author.

Throughout my career, I have supervised and mentored both emerging and experienced counselors, fostering professional growth through guidance, training, and support. My approach integrates clinical expertise, compassion, and an in-depth understanding of addiction, allowing me to provide both individual and group supervision that enhances skills, ethical practices, and therapeutic effectiveness.

As a committed advocate for lifelong learning and growth, I continually strive to elevate the standards of practice within the addiction counseling field, ensuring that both counselors and clients receive the highest quality care, competency, courage and connection. I am a bridge builder, wayshower, and masterful teacher, integrating a unique combination of therapy and behavioral change strategies to help you create exceptional and lasting results.
