Steady, Collaborative, and Deeply Human

Therapy with me is not a rigid program or a homework-heavy "fix." Guided by Two-Eyed Seeing, we weave Western clinical insight with Indigenous ways of knowing, somatic reflection, and narrative inquiry.

We make room for the deep therapeutic work—and we also make room for the ordinary details of your week, humor, delight, and absurdity. All of it belongs.

Hi, I’m Chantelle.

I’m so glad your path has led you here.

Counsellor is only one of the many hats I wear.

I am also a wife, sister, daughter, friend, dog mom; lifelong learner, self-proclaimed nerd, bookworm, and avid thrifter.

I am a proud, born-and-raised Yukoner of mixed Indigenous and European ancestry. A queer femme happily married in a hetero-passing relationship. And a first-generation university graduate.

Before obtaining a Master Degree in Counselling, I spent a decade immersed in grassroots frontline care in my hometown of Whitehorse.

Today, I weave my raw lived experience with gentle clinical grounding to offer you a soft landing: an unhurried, cozy space where you can let down your guard and be truly seen.

Working Together

Choosing a therapist or consultant is an investment of your time, energy, and trust.

I believe the administrative side of this work should be transparent, unhurried, and stress-free.

Step Into the In-Between

You don’t need to have your story completely figured out before beginning therapy.

You don’t need to arrive with the right words, a clear diagnosis, or a plan for what needs to change.

You simply need to bring what is here.

If you feel that my approach may be a good fit for what you’re looking for, I invite you to book a complimentary 20-minute consultation. It’s a chance for us to meet, talk a little about what brings you to therapy, and see how it feels to be in conversation together.

Words and Witness

Healing lives in the stories we tell, the myths we unravel, and the art we make of our survival. On my Reflections page, I share poetry, prose, and fragmented thoughts on walking between worlds, decolonial healing, and the beauty of getting lost.

If you are a seeker, a dreamer, or someone who finds medicine in written words, I invite you to read along.
