In addition to being a life-long learner of all things regarding the human mind, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (B.A.), as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) from California State University, Chico. I also have a Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A) degree from Claremont Graduate School in California. I completed the coursework for a Master of Counselling Psychology (M.A.C.P.) from Yorkville University in New Brunswick, but chose instead to complete my supervision through Orca Institute in Vancouver and ultimately obtain an RTC license. I have worked with disadvantaged teens as well as “marginalized” folks in homeless shelters, and I also manned crisis lines at the Vancouver Crisis Centre. I am trauma-informed and have pursued additional training in spiritual attunement, conflict resolution, and relationship skills.
