I was educated at the University of Manitoba and spent eleven years earning three degrees. I learned a lot about human behavior, but over the years my clients have taught me a whole lot more. Being a spouse or partner and a mom has also been extremely educational and I feel blessed to continue learning and growing. For well over twenty years I have been a practicing Professional Counsellor or Therapist and I believe a few core things to be true. First, we all make mistakes some of which bring along many years of fall-out or implication. Second, we all need a sense of belonging, meaning and purpose. Third, happiness is a journey, not a goal or a destination. And forth, no one is more important than you are, although other people are also important (just not more important than you are). When we forgive ourselves for being imperfect and make good choices that give us the opportunity to have our basic needs met, we make it possible to experience peace and times of happiness.
