My journey

About Me

I have been a support, mentor, and coach to many individuals in their growing journey towards a better, healthier life since 2017. My work has taken me to homeless shelters, treatment centres, prisons, coffee shops, church communities, 12-Step groups, Social Services and everything in between. I have a high value of lived experience, healing, accountability, and compassion which has aligned me with incredible experiences.

 

I believe that safer communities, healthier relationships, and good lives begin from working from the inside out, looking at what is in the way as well as what can move us towards the best version of ourselves. My own experiences in life have shown where judgement is necessary and where it is not. I believe 2nd chances, understanding and turning mistakes into lessons are imperative for making a life we are proud of.

Professional Focus

My professional focus uses Motivational Interviewing (MI) and training as a Canadian Certified Recovery Coach (CCRC), Recovery Coach Professional (RCP), and Recovery Coach Professional Facilitator (RCPF). I am continually sharpening my skills by being a mentor coach to Recovery Coaches in training. I believe that my clients have what they need to be a resource to their own change and just need some assistance in finding it.

 

My work in Restorative Justice holds a special place in my heart. I have worked closely with those impacted by Sexual Harm (perpetrators and victims) to create safer communities built on accountability.  I’ve gotten to see people in their complete humanity, beyond their mistakes and hardships and have been inspired by the connections made in this most unlikely of circumstances.

I would describe myself as an equal parts nerd, jock, and artist. I have a vast board game collection, love basketball (as a former varsity athlete), and I enjoy creating abstract art with epoxy resin.
