As a person in long term recovery, and as a helping professional, I have witnessed the beauty that happens when a person embarks on a path to recovery and  wellness. I am passionate about helping others on their healing journeys because I truly believe that change, and a better life, is possible, when we do the work required to free ourselves from addiction.  We all need support on this path, which can look different for everyone. My hope is that our programs at Facilitating Changes will support clients to create their own unique goals and dreams, and build the life they so deserve to live.

I have over 20 years’ experience working with others in social and health services fields. have a Masters in Social Work from UVic and I am a Registered Social Worker in BC. I also hold a Substance Use Certificate from the JIBC, and I am a Certified Professional Recovery Coach with the IAPRC. I currently work as a social worker in healthcare and as a consultant with Facilitating Changes.
