Mariam started her journey with us 8 years ago at My Life Centre. When JFJ and My Life Centre merged, she became our Client Service counsellor. Her many years of personal and professional experience make her a wealth of knowledge. She is more than a professional counsellor; she is a counsellor who truly cares.

Mariam is an authentic and enthusiastic team member at JFJ. She is often on the go, meeting with families on Zoom or in-person or facilitating one of our parenting programs. No matter what she is doing or what she has planned, she always makes time to be present and listen. Mariam journeys with families through all seasons of their parenting journey, whether is with her attentive listening or collaborating on solutions. She is someone her family and team seek for insight. Did you know that Mariam is the proud grandmother of 3 beautiful grandchildren?!
