I am passionate about helping clients process their emotions and exploring new adaptive coping skills to help individuals live a more fulfilling life.
Why I Volunteer: I volunteer with No Gamer Left Behind because I believe in the unique power that playing tabletop and board games can have on people. Games have a wonderful way of engaging the mind and supporting mental health, and they promote face-to-face social interaction in a time where we are surrounded by screens.
I’ve been playing games on and off all of my life. My favourite game is Icarus because of its amazing ability to make anyone a storyteller and how simple it is to play.

Best Gaming Memory: As a new kids at my high school I was an outcast and struggled to make friends until I was welcomed into a game of Dragon’s in a nook under a secret stairwell near the art wing. I was a Minotaur my first time playing and I was victorious with my creative thinking and quick wit. What an awesome way to make new friends and build my self confidence.
