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 everyone, my name is Daina Kary. I am an Indigenous Social Worker/Mental Health Counsellor with Possibilities Recovery Center and currently travel with the Health Bus project in partnership with STC, Medavie, and Blok Dental. I also spend time at the Wellness Center as the Mental Health Counsellor and facilitating programs.  

I have recently graduated from the First Nations University in Saskatoon with a Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work and Certificate in Reconciliation Studies. In addition to my education I bring lived experience of sexual abuse, domestic abuse, addictions, and being a young single mother. My personal healing journey from drugs, alcohol, trauma, and self-identity has led me to where I am today.  

I have 2 adult children, a daughter-in-law, and 2 beautiful granddaughters who have become such a blessing in my life. My dog Izzy, she is my biggest support and offers me unconditional love on a daily basis. It is through community, family, culture, and support that I found my will to live and I hope to share that with each and every interaction I experience on this journey.  I am very honoured and grateful to be a part of Possibilities Recovery Center, along with the partnership with the STC Health Bus and Wellness Center, I look forward to learn and be led by the relatives and communities I encounter.   

Hi! My name is Crystal and I am one of the Addiction Counsellors here at Possibilities Recovery Center. I was born and raised here in Saskatoon and I also have roots at One Arrow First Nations. I received my Mental Health and Wellness diploma from Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technology in 2020.

I’ve always been a huge advocate for spreading awareness, resources and knowledge regarding mental health and addiction which quickly became my passion. I believe sharing stories is healing and with my own lived experiences with mental health issues and addiction, I am able to provide clients with compassion and empathy with support from my educational background and experiences. In my work practice and in my daily life, I always strive to grow and to continue to learn more with resilience and a positive outlook.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my three rabbits, friends, family, listening to music, and photography.

I am proud to be a part of a mission I truly believe in and the amazing things done here at Possibilities Recovery Center.

Hey! My name is Alexandra Morris, and I am one of the Youth Counsellors at Possibilities Recovery Center. I am completing the last semester of the Mental Health and Wellness program at Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technology.

I grew up all over Saskatchewan, mostly in rural areas but always around Saskatoon. I have been passionate about mental health since I started my own healing journey. I have battled an opioid addiction since my early teen years and began my recovery in 2017 when I got pregnant with my daughter. My addiction and personal life experiences led me to the mental health field to use my experience toward something positive. Helping others is my calling. Between life experience and education, I strive to offer current and relatable mental health information to all my clients, while building connections and leading with positivity and empathy. 

I am very excited to be a part of the Youth Mental Wellness Program at Possibilities. I’ve been working in the facility as a practicum student off and on for the last year and it’s always been such a positive experience. I couldn’t be happier to be a part of such an amazing facility with amazing people!
