A little bit about me…
First and foremost, I am a recovering addict. My clean date is December 27th, 2014. Since that date, my life has changed exponentially. I was an uneducated, unemployable, unremarkable child in an adult’s body, and I was transformed to an advocate, a healer, a leader, and a proud woman in recovery.
I completed my diploma in Addiction Counselling in the summer of 2018. Immediately following this, I enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology program, which I completed in 2022.
I am an internationally certified drug and alcohol counsellor, a member of the Canadian College of Professional Counsellors and a Clinical Counsellor with extensive education in family systems, attachment theory, and behaviour mapping.
Aside from my credentials and education, I bring 10 years of experience in the addiction treatment and recovery field, 7 years of experience working closely with families with addiction issues, and 10+ years of experience facing this deadly disease of addiction.
My time in addiction motivates me to stand up for recovery. I have spoken at events, sat on panels and given presentations regarding recovery and the field of addiction treatment. I am your representation of the life your loved one is or was facing, and I am here to give you insight.

My daughter was the addict in my life. I knew nothing regarding addiction. I learned from Asha that this is a life long disease. The best thing I could do for my daughter was to take care of myself.
