Meet Our Team

My name is Tanner. I couldn't be more excited to be a part of this project as well, a part of this team. I have spent my 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 training, and 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.

I am extremely confident in our program model and I believe in our staff's experience and their ability to treat addiction and concurring mental health conditions of many kinds. 

We have combinations of lived experience with physical and behavioral addiction, years of experience treating addiction, years of education on mental heath and addiction as well as a dire compassion for those currently living with or around addiction. 

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 counsellor 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.
