About Me

I am a mother, wife, animal lover, and helping professional. I am lucky to reside in the beautiful Qu'Appelle Valley in Saskatchewan. My greatest joys are being with my family, spending time outside, and snuggling my animals. I am basic trained in EMDR recognized by EMDRIA. I have 18 years experience working in mental health counselling and look forward to continuing to work with individuals via my private counselling at A Calm Place Counselling.
