Addictions or Substance Abuse
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., CSAT
I work with individuals who find themselves leaning on substances like alcohol and drugs or behaviors, such as sex or gambling, as a way of coping through the ups and downs of life. My clients often discover that this is no longer serving them and they want to find new and healthier ways of coping. This is possible and opens the door to greater connection with themselves and deeper and more satisfying relationships with their loved ones.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Addictions (substance use disorders) are not a free choice. Nobody is born, hoping to grow up depending on a substance to cope and/or survive. Addictions often serve as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions and life's many challenges. They can be an attempt to fill a void, numb pain, or manage stress. If you or someone you live is struggling, please know that this is not a sign of weakness or failure -- rather, it's a way that human has adapted to survive how hard life can be. Healing and recovery are possible, and taking this first step is a huge act of courage.

Addictions or Substance Abuse
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
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".
