Practice Information
I have learned over a number of careers that one of my true joys is supporting people to accomplish their goals. I bring considerable life experience, empathy, and understanding to my practice allowing me to provide a safe, non-threatening, and non-judgmental environment.
I believe in working with you to achieve your goals.
I have had a number of careers in my life: selling automotive, agricultural, and truck parts, as a counsellor with John Howard Society, and many years working at universities in Canada, Qatar, and UAE. My family and I spent nearly 8 years overseas returning to Canada in 2017, with a ton of experience and a lot of reverse culture shock. Throughout these careers I have developed and nurtured a strong sense of service, bringing me to my third and current career as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), returning to a path I began many years ago.
