I am very grateful for the 28 years I spent working in Horizon Health. It has given me many opportunities to learn and grow as a clinician.
For the first 18 years of my career, I was a hospital based Recreation Therapist... most people don’t even know what that is! (For the record, a Recreation Therapist provides education and makes necessary adaptations to maximize independence and improve quality of life through use of recreation and leisure.) What I learned from this experience is how important relationships are in providing people with a safe place to learn and grow.
As it turns out... I had all these people confiding in me and I had no idea how to help them. So, I decided to go back to school. I took my MEd in counselling and found new opportunities to help others. I had the opportunity to clinically coordinate a residential treatment center for children and youth, coordinated a recovery center for young adults and was a clinical coordinator for an Integrated Service Delivery team (ISD); all the while providing counselling for children, youth and families.
I decided that I wanted to continue this work in a warm secure environment where I could have the flexibility to see people at their convenience. This is why I opened OHANA Counselling.
