Clinical Director - B.F.A., B.Ed., M.Ed. (Counselling), Ph.D. (Counselling Psychology)

I have a Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology with a specialization in the prevention and treatment of eating and body image issues, life stressors and trauma. I specialize in holistic approaches to women's health and well-being.

My training in theatre, art, dance, yoga, and play therapy enables me to work in creative ways to enhance girls’ and women’s sense of well-being.

As an elementary teacher, I once witnessed a group of my little grade one girls starting a diet club “to be like our moms.” They were throwing out their lunches and running laps around the playground to lose weight!

I am passionate about helping girls and women reclaim their lives and express their true selves, and learn how to fully support each other, creating a sisterhood of understanding and trust.

The Veteran Legislative Voice (VLV) is a page to help veterans, spouses and patriotic Americans exercise their 1st amendment rights in contacting their government and voice their opinions about issues affecting our military service members. This website is to provide resources to those that are determined to make a difference for themselves and their fellow citizens.

If you are interested, please go “How can I become involved?”. There will be call scripts, email/snail mail templates, and contact information for your congressmen.

There are devastating and life-changing issues that are affecting our current and past military service members. Some of these issues include:

Inspired by a friends Facebook Post, 

Bullying isn't a small thing.  It can kill...and it has killed. 

Eli died by suicide at the age of 12 as a direct result of bullying.  There were no glaring signs, no previous attempts, no way for his parents to know.  The only evidence that there was a problem, was knowledge that some bullying was going on.

***WARNING*** Graphic war stories

Jess Larochelle is an Afghanistan Veteran who performed incredible acts of valour, yet has not been acknowledged with the appropriate medals. 

Bruce Moncur served with Jess, and has tirelessly worked towards having Jess recognized. 

No Canadian as received Canada's highest award (the Victoria Cross) since WW2.  Since 1993, Canada has been in charge of this honor, prior to that it was the UK.  Still, ...nobody has received this distinguished award. 

For those who know the story, the consensus has been, if Jess Larochelle doesn't receive a VC, then nobody should. 

My Christmas wish is for you to help me share this show with all of your friends, employees, clients, whether they are Veterans, First Responders, or family member or not. 

Anyone who may be struggling this Christmas season can benefit from this show. 

Please...help me help others. 

Spread the love. :)

You are not alone.

The longer you avoid dealing with it, the worse it gets.  You don't have to live a life of struggle, there is help.  Check out VTN, and other organizations like it to take some rocks out of your rucksack. 

Let others help you carry the load.  Lighten the load by getting help. 

Dave has dedicated his life to the service of others.  After more than 10 years in the Military, including a tour in Somalia, David achieved a degree in Social Work so that he can further serve others. 

Everyone has a bad day, but not everyone's bad day ends up on the news.  Dave's did. 

Because of a parking lot argument, David (who is first nations) was accused of a hate crime.  The media ran with the obviously false narrative without taking a moment to interview Dave for his perspective.  As a result, Dave has had to move to a secret location, and his career / job prospects have been ruined. 

Phillip Millar of Millar's Law is representing Mr. Lavoie on this matter, which is going to court soon.
