My interest in mental health began when my adopted daughter was struggling to make sense of the trauma from her early life abandonment and the ensuing challenges that came from her adoption. Struggling to get support and having limited options, I through myself into researching how to help. Together we found a way to connect and for her to heal and then spark for my future career was born. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from the University of New Brunswick and I am a Licensed Counseling Therapist – Candidate (LCT-C) in the province of New Brunswick. I am also a Certified Canadian Counselor (CCC) registered with the CCPA.
