Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I am passionate about supporting diverse client populations experiencing health and life challenges. My work experience spans Canada and the US, including sexual health advocacy/education, inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient methadone and substance use counseling, and most recently, oncology and palliative care. My practice philosophy is rooted in harm reduction and social justice, with the goal of centering my client's values and self-determination to create solutions as unique as the people and families I serve.
