Biography

Helping others acheive their goals and improve their lives brings me tremendous joy. I was born in Fort St. John, B.C. and currently live and practice in Mackenzie, BC, so I understand life in smaller, northern towns. My commitment to supporting others with improving their mental health comes from my lived experiences with life's struggles; while my skills and knowledge have developed through my university education, specialized training and work experience.

Education

Masters of Social Work Degree, University of Calgary Mental Health and Addictions Counselling Certificate, McMaster University Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Certification
