Nancy has over 25 years of experience in the human services field and boasts a varied background.

A big part of her career was spent in corrections in youth facilities and as an adult parole officer, as well as family services, long-term care, elder abuse, children’s grief, sexual abuse agencies, walk-in counselling clinics and with a mobile crisis team.

Nancy feels drawn to working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, suicidal ideation, depression and PTSD as a result of a trauma, or traumas that they have experienced in their life.
