About ShannonI have recently completed both the Infant, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Graduate Certificate and the Advanced Social Work Practice Graduate Certificate through the University of Calgary. Being successful in earning these graduate certificates has helped to ladder my education, as well as, provided me the opportunity to focus on topics that I am passionate about. I am proud to say that I have since completed my Masters Degree specializing in Clinical Social Work through the University of Calgary.
I have been a Registered Social Worker with the Alberta College of Social Workers since 2007 and started my career at the Medicine Hat Women’s Shelter Society where I was employed for five years. Following this, I transitioned to Alberta Health Services, where I am approaching my ten year anniversary as a Mental Health Therapist on the Children’s Team. All of my education and work experience, along with being a mom of twins has helped shape how I work with children, adolescents and their families. |
Special Interests of mine encompass child and adolescent mental health and well-being particularly surrounding Anxiety, Depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Eating Disorders.
When I’m not at work and don’t have my head in the books for school you will find me putting Lego sets together with my kids, helping my husband with home reno’s or playing with our pup's Elvis & Milo. |
