EDUCATION AND TRAINING

About Me

​

I hold a Master's in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria (2012). I am a member in good standing of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC #11659). My undergraduate degree was in English and Creative Writing, and I am also a singer-songwriter.
