Hobbies and Interests
I try to live my own life with gentleness. Outside of my work, I spend most of my time with Bug, my sweet little canine companion. He is one of my greatest teachers in play, companionship, and unconditional love. I also love creating art, resting, and connecting with the land and my community.
Education & Experience
I have a background that spans the arts, civic engagement, harm reduction, and public health policy, experiences that continue to shape how I understand resilience and human dignity. I am trained in EMDR therapy and hold a Master of Counselling Psychology. My work is also influenced by practices that nurture compassion and connection, such as Buddhist psychology, feminist perspectives, narrative approaches, and the science of how our brains, bodies, and relationships shape healing.
