I chose to pursue a career in counselling after witnessing the positive impact counselling had within my own family as we navigated a serious cancer diagnosis. As part of my Masters program, I had the opportunity to undertake an 8 month full time practicum with Patient and Family Counselling at BC Cancer in Vancouver. Through this experience, I had the privilege to counsel individuals, couples, and families as they navigated life, experiencing cancer directly and indirectly.
