There is very little that surprises me about people or life. I am open-minded, intrigued and inspired by people. I genuinely  feel a sense of community responsibility and love for others. I am in my mid 50,s,  married with 4 adult children, including a  severely disabled son, an adult daughter and 2 boys. I am a spiritually connected person that finds meaning in bringing light into parts of ourselves that may feel dark. I have a sense of humor and a strong intuition. I have

worked in the past for provincial welfare and mental health agencies. I currently  offer my services to charities regarding intimate partner violence. I love working with unique and diverse people and truly believe in multiple ways of being. I am involved in a federally funded research project on coercive control and culturally insular communities. I work with multiple psychodynamic models depending on the clients need. I also use eclectic somatic models often in regards to trauma work.
