Occasionally, individuals may engage in recreational use of drugs, alcohol, or other vices. However, for certain individuals, what starts as casual use can spiral into addiction.
Addiction can have profound and detrimental effects on both individuals and their loved ones. It is characterized by an inability to cease the consumption of a substance, chemical, activity, or behavior, despite the resulting psychological or physical harm.
Finding solace from addiction can be a daunting task. Take the first step towards healing by reaching out today to schedule a consultation with one of our mental health specialists. They possess the expertise and resources necessary to provide the support and tools you need in your journey towards overcoming addiction.
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
The constant use of some sort of “intervention” (be it drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.) to look outside of oneself or feel better when life gets out of control. The problem is that even though these “interventions” might work in the short-term they do not help in the long-term, and usually make life spin further out of control. Psychotherapy and rehabilitation are used to help a person wine off of the aforementioned “interventions.”
Navigating the complexities of addictions or substance abuse requires a compassionate, evidence-based approach tailored to each individual's journey. My expertise in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing supports clients in understanding the root causes of their addiction, developing coping strategies, and building a resilient foundation for recovery. I offer a non-judgmental space to explore these challenges and overcome substance dependencies.

I work primarily with those who are in later stages of recovery and those looking to enhance or deepen their experience in sobriety. This may involve exploring the roots of your substance use and/or seeking support for ongoing challenges of life and relationships. I have worked with those who have abused alcohol, marijuana and other drugs, or behavioural addictions such as shopping or video games.
It can be hard to know where to begin when dealing with addiction because its roots can run deep into the fabric of our lives. When working with individuals who experience addictions, I first seek to understand and appreciate each person’s story and work to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where healing can begin. My own experiences with addiction and recovery have helped me to understand the healing power of compassion, acceptance and encouragement. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.
I have ten years of experience working with courageous people that use addictions as a coping strategy and want to practice other forms of self-help that's more aligned with their values. Whether conscious or not, addiction serves a purpose, or else you wouldn't do it. With guidance, you will arrive to your inner reasons and together, we will replace the behavior into a desired habit.
Additionally, addictions impacts the whole family and from one individual choosing to work on themselves, the ripple onto the family system is positively felt and appreciated.
