About Me

I specialize in trauma support and have extensive training in CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and EMDR. I have many years if experience in cancer care and grief support. I will help you embrace your resilience, so difficult life experiences no longer have power over you, gaining a sense that you have control of your life.

Education & Experience

My education started with an Honors in Disability Studies and a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work which led me to a career as a Resource Coordinator in social services - adult disability field and eventuality to counselling in healthcare. I embarked on my Master's Degree in Applied Psychology at the University of Lethbridge and added the theological perspective through the Master's Degree in Counselling through Providence University Seminary.
