Meet Our Team

My name is Tanner. I am a co-founder of Possibilities Recovery Center. I serve on the Board of Directors as well as the Business Manager. I am grateful for this opportunity to be a part of this team, and to share this experience with people and families. Possibilities is a living testimonial that change is possible given the right environment.

I have spent my prior career in the Oilfield as a Journeyman Instrument Technician and Contract Battery Operator, gaining knowledge owning and operating a small business. I bring a strong passion for Recovery rooting from my own battle with addiction. 

I have a thirst for knowledge and education. I have just completed my Addiction Treatment Specialist diploma, Clare|Matrix Key Supervisor and Facilitator training, and I'm currently working on the Online Business Program through SaskPolytech. I balance my work life with being a husband and dad to 2 kids, 3 step kids, and 2 dogs.

Hello! My name is Kayla and I am the Program Manager for Possibilities Recovery Center here in Saskatoon. I couldn’t be more excited to be part of the Possibilities journey and creation of this center, as well to be a part of the team created to help those living with substance use. 

My thirst for helping other goes back decades, which has led me to a career in front line working as an EMT in Saskatoon for a few years. I returned to school in 2013 and obtained my Bachelor of Education, with a major in Indigenous Studies. 

Up until recently, I worked as a teacher within Saskatoon, and now with the opening of Possibilities Recovery Center will be working directly with my passion for mental health and addictions.  I bring a wealth of knowledge for addictions and mental health through not only lived experiences, but through education and passion. My constant need to learn more and expand my knowledge has never stopped. 

I completed my Bachelor in Education with a major in Indigenous Studies in the spring 2016, I have also completed a number of mental health and addictions courses, and the Clare/Matrix Supervisor training.  I am currently working to complete my Degree in Psychology, with a minor in Criminology and Addictions through the University of Saskatchewan.  On my downtime, I am a wife and mom to five beautiful children 3 biological and 2 step children, as well as our dogs. 

I too am extremely confident in our program model, as we at Possibilities have looked at the supports and gaps within our current system and created a program that can be fully individualized and holistic.  Our staff comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and experiences, which will assist them in treating the individual and family living with addiction, while being able to look at all other co-occurring mental health concerns. 

Our teams experience with mental health and addictions, combined with their empathy and thirst to help those living or around addictions creates a place where changes happen. 

Hello, all! My name is Rebecca. I am the on-staff Addiction’s Therapist here at Possibilities Recovery!

Although originally from Saskatoon, I relocated to B.C. to complete my University Degree. Prior to that, I completed a psychology minor at the University of Saskatchewan. Once I relocated to B.C., I completed my BA in Criminal psychology and justice, while simultaneously completing a minor in psychopharmacology and certification in mental health and addictions. 

I was awarded a lot of incredible opportunities throughout my schooling career, including participating in the ‘Inside-Out’ prison university program, one of the first of its kind. 

After completing schooling, and interning/working at both Edgewood and Cedar’s  rehabilitation  centers, I settled down in corrections, working for the Guthrie program as a mental health and addictions case manager with the prison population. 

After learning my partner and I were expecting our daughter (now the sassiest 16 month old you’ll meet!), we relocated back to Saskatoon.

I plan to continue to evolve my work in the field, incorporating new and innovative approaches to my day to day work, with the knowledge that “once size fits all” does little to move individual lives forward.

Hello, everyone! My name’s Chris Klein, and I am the newest member of the Possibilities Recovery Team, working as an Addiction’s Counsellor, and I could not be more excited to be working here! 

I am born and raised in Saskatoon but moved to Lethbridge, Alberta to complete my first post secondary education in Criminal Justice, and then later moved onto completing my Bachelor of Justice, focusing on my major of Criminal Psychology. I am passionate about finding what makes people click, and what I can do to coach, mentor, and help people work through their problems.

After I finished university in Alberta, I came back to Saskatoon in 2014 and worked with a non-profit organization called Ranch Ehrlo Society until 2020, working in group homes and family treatment type programming. My focus with this organization was working through youth’s crises and traumas with on-shift counselling with large amounts of compassionate support.

During my time working with Ranch Ehrlo, I also attended the University of Saskatchewan and took many electives that would be beneficial to my work and familiarize me more in depth with indigenous culture. 

I am passionate about animal therapy and have two golden retrievers, one of which that is trained as a therapy dog and is often on site for clients, whose name is Jett.

I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge, training, education and expertise in my current role at Possibilities Recovery Center and very excited about my new transition!
