Some things about me… I grew up in a small town just outside of Edmonton and spent much of my younger years doing anything outdoors. My love of animals and the outdoors has carried with me in my adult years, and in my spare time I can be found going for walks outdoors, hiking, relaxing at the lake, or hanging out with family and friends, and all the dogs.
Prior to my role at Dochas I have spent several years working in the helping field. I have worked with children and adolescents with developmental disabilities and mental health conditions, assisting them in developing various skills to overcome communication challenges, academic challenges, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, challenges with social relationships, and more. Prior to this, I worked with adults with disabilities and mental health challenges, helping them achieve greater independence as working citizens.
While I was fortunate enough to know that I wanted to become a counsellor from a young age, my professional experiences further solidified my interest in being able to help others heal in a deeper capacity.
