She has been working in the mental health field for 25 years, and currently operates a private counselling practice offering in person and telehealth options. Francine is guided by a Humanist approach to counselling and identifies as integrative, applying a variety of therapeutic modalities.

Francine is a spouse, a mother of three and has two young grandchildren. She enjoys her personal time with family and friends, attending yoga, photography, gardening, and volunteering in the community.

Francine completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Sociology in 1990, focusing her research on stress in the workplace relating to shift work. Her interest in this developed during her summer student experiences working for a large oilsands project in Fort McMurray. After she graduated from university, it was during her first employment opportunity that she experienced bullying by her superior over a period of a few months. With her support system, she was able to overcome the emotional and mental pain she endured and integrated this experience into her work as a therapist.

Francine has worked in the employment and post secondary education fields leading to the development of her own practice offering employment preparation and job placement services as a Life Skills Coach. While in these counselling environments Francine maintained her interest in and supported healthy workplaces. She has worked in operating a not-for-profit, grassroots Employee and Family Assistance Program.

Francine felt she had come full circle in her career supporting employees and their families, often facing stress related illnesses. After meeting Linda Crocket of the Canadian Institute of Workplace Bullying Resource (CIWBR), Francine was thrilled to see her work in Alberta in educating the public, workplaces, and employees, and offering support to those experiencing symptoms of bullying and harassment. Francine gravitated to this and has applied many of the skills taught by Linda. Since then, Francine has accessed workshops with the CIWBR to maintain and fine tune her skills in working with this population of individuals. Her interest in this work and care for those targeted continues.
