My cultural and ancestral background is

My cultural and ancestral background is Irish, Argentinian, and Italian. I'm a white settler and hold awareness of how my ancestry intersects with colonization and privilege. I’m a second-generation settler, attuned to complexity of seeking safety through blending in and experiences of disconnection from family culture. I was raised with a mix of cultural influences, shaped by both familial traditions and settler Canadian norms. I’m committed to reflection around cultural identity, power, and responsibility in therapeutic spaces. I bring cultural curiosity and humility into my work, and am committed to honouring each person's unique cultural and ancestral context.
