Hey I’m Rebecca, 

I am BC born and raised. I am of Cree/Metis and European descent and have a unique worldview due to my heritage. I am a mom of 2 beautiful babes and have a deep appreciation for the joys and challenges of family life. 

I have a Masters in Social Work from McGill University, a post graduate diploma in art therapy and have completed numerous post graduate courses in the areas of attachment, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family relationships.  Since having my kids I have started on the journey to learn more about Maternal Mental Health and I have completed a Maternal Mental Health Certificate. 

I have had the privilege of working as a Child and Family Therapist for over 15 years in a number of different government, non-profit and mental health organizations in BC and Ontario.  I have extensive experience in working with children, youth, families and individuals.  I have also worked within the urban Aboriginal community in Ottawa and Vancouver and have had the exceptional experience of working in a small Inuvialuit Community in the North West Territories.
