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.
