I can support you in your endeavours to deal with your alcohol, drug or gambling addiction. Sometimes the harm reduction approach is possible, abstinence may be your goal. I work with either approach. No matter what stage of change you are at, support and psychotherapy to maintain your commitment and move forward in your life is possible. Don't let relapse stop you in your determination to have a fuller and more joyous life.

From a trauma-informed perspective, addiction is understood to be a manifestation of unresolved trauma for which the addiction is a coping method. I work to help clients better understand both their addiction and their trauma, and how to resolve both by learning more healthy and helpful ways of coping and by doing trauma processing. As Gabor Mate says "do not ask why the addiction, ask why the pain".
