My mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their challenges and find healing.

Throughout my professional and personal experience, I have gained extensive knowledge in developing and coordinating therapeutic mental health groups, assessments, grief counselling, and interventions within a variety of complex trauma and crisis situations within ICU, emergency and palliative care. Beyond my love of working with people, my job has afforded me a well-rounded skill set informed by spirituality and the social sciences (psychology, sociology, anthropology). I seek to honor and promote diversity and inclusion, while modeling respect and sensitivity for all people walking the journey of life with great care, compassion and integrity.

​

Growing up in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan I was exposed to Indigenous community living and spirituality. I believe the exposure cultivated a deep compassion for others that has only been strengthened through adulthood. With more than 10 years of experience working with families, patients and staff I have cultivated a passion for helping support individuals in their need of times. I seek to improve the quality of life to individuals experiencing distress related to change in health or life circumstances. Utilizing a holistic relational approach to caring for the whole person and overall wellness of the family unit.
