​

I worked in diverse mental health care settings, including

​

• Practicing massage therapy at a cat ski lodge 

• Supporting youth on multi-day wilderness trips

• Working with adults in an addiction recovery centre

• Supporting young parents with mental health and life skills

• Collaborating with youth and adults with diverse-abilities

​​​​

I stay accountable to you through...

​

• Monthly clinical supervision 

• Ongoing professional trainings
