I will help you learn alternatives to substance use. By identifying the difficult emotions that substances help you cope with we can create a new plan that will allow you to manage these uncomfortable experiences while still decreasing your substance use. This way, we target the underlying reasons you drink/do drugs/eat and address the core issues that motivate your unhealthy behaviours.

Do you feel that your drinking is stopping you from living the life you've dreamed of? Are you tired waking up with a pounding headache, dragging yourself out of bed thinking, “why did I do that?" Does a couple of drinks end up being a runaway train? Do you worry that if an emergency happened, you won’t be in proper shape to help your loved ones? Are you sick and tired of having your life revolve around alcohol? If you answered yes to any of the above, counselling can help. With powerful techniques, accountability, and genuine warmth, I help clients fully understand and master their drinking habits - so they can finally have the robust health, career, and relationships they deserve.

Addictions are a coping strategy gone wrong. In the beginning, using may have helped to numb the underlying emotional pain, but over time it created a new set of problems that only added to the pain, including financial problems, loss of important relationships, and problems at work. 'Triggers' are those precipitating events that give rise to cravings to use. A common trigger is emotions, especially painful emotions that are seen as unbearable so our first reaction is to do something - anything - to avoid feeling those emotions. A key step in recovery is learning to cope with emotions in healthier ways. I can help you gain the skills you need to prevent relapse and live a fuller life.

I am presently employed as a clinical counsellor in Bridgeway Addiction Services. I take a biopyschosocialspiritual approach. I work on both the symptoms and the root of the problem of addiction. The root usually includes work regarding past abuse and trauma, low self worth, negative core self beliefs, family of origin, etc. With the addition use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) I can help people with both the causes of addiction and impulse/urge control.

The question is not "why the addiction but why the pain" - Gabor Mate. Addiction is rooted in human suffering and complex social problems. Drawing on the work of Gabor Mate, Narrative Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy, and Response-Based practice, I will begin to address the pain and suffering experienced by individuals and families. We will also exploring the social context the contributes to an addiction culture. One of the goals is to start to separate the person from the addiction. Each individual is so much more than the addiction they experience.

I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that examine the relationship between triggers, thoughts/beliefs, and your urges to engage in addictive behaviors. You will explore concepts associated with how certain thought processes have negatively impacted you ability to abstain. You also will identify strategies in sessions to apply to real life situations. I believe there is not one specific path to abstinence. In sessions, we will explore an individualized treatment plan that may include motivational interviewing, harm reduction strategies, fully abstaining from using, community supports such as Alcoholics Anonymous, as well as other behavioral, supportive, and creative therapies.

I provide support for those considering or determined to reduce or eliminate substances, problem gambling, or other compulsion. Whether the goal is cutting out the addictive behaviour or minimizing its impact, I work through motivational interviewing to help people access addiction treatment if needed. If treatment is not needed, I target the underlying problem such as anxiety, depression, or family conflict. So if you have a family member who requires assessment and direction, or you yourself need to know that you addiction is in good hands while you focus on another problem, I can help.

The pain of addiction is real. & So is the pain that leads us there. I believe we are drawn to substance, process, sexual, & an unending list of other addictions for a reason. & Often that reason is simply to escape our own inner pain or turmoil...that just feels too overwhelming to bear. That makes the journey to freedom from addiction rarely an easy one, but certainly a rewarding one. & It is not one I believe any of us were meant to take alone. Let me come alongside you & support you on your journey back to freedom, joy, & ultimately yourself. & All that you were truly made for.

“It was a long and heavy day and I just need to break the edge.” “I communicate better after few drinks” “I can’t fall asleep if I don’t have my…” When a substance becomes a “priority”, or becomes overused, it begins to creep into and destroy an individual’s health, family, relationship and even work. The question becomes "Do I have control over it or does it have control over me?". Often substances are used as coping mechanism without realizing that it often creates even more anxiety and depression, leaving a person feeling more stress and low down the road. Feeling anxious without a "quick fix" or a “temporary Band-Aid” is a strong indicator that a person is or has lost control with the desired substance. In counselling, we work to support...(view profile to read more)

Addictions issues can both result from distress in relationships and precipitate or create distress. Support in addressing addictions issues can have a signifiacant positive impact on overall relationship functioning. The fact that relationships are one of our primary coping mechanisms multiplies the potential distress when addictions is present as it impacts the very mechanisms we use to cope.

Many approaches to addiction emphasize willpower and deprivation, but this only works temporarily. Alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours like gambling and gaming offer short-term relief of underlying issues at a long-term cost to one's relationships and health. As an addiction counsellor, I can help you resolve underlying issues, regain control, and build a sense of meaning and purpose, so you can start living the life you want. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery. I meet each client where they are at, tailoring my approach to each person's unique needs. Send me a message and we can connect for a quick call to discuss next steps.

A wise client once told me the problem is not the substance! The substance is, in the moment, the best solution to the problems he was experiencing in living. I believe it is critical to help my clients find a way to feel the sunshine and find the laughter without the substance. This is no small challenge but with a careful process the dragons can be slain and each day lived with peace and calm. Call me and let us see if we can work together towards this goal!

Addictions come in many forms--substances, gambling, sex, shopping, social media. The addictive behavior is just what we see, and is about 15% of what's going on. The other 85% is what lies underneath, driving the behavior. What need is being fulfulled by the addiction? Is it a way of coping with uncomfortable feelings? Unresolved trauma? Loneliness or boredom? Only by dealing with the underlying unmet needs or feelings can a true shift be made in the addictive behavior. Together we can figure out what's going on for you, and then work to make changes--address the unresolved trauma, change relationship patterns, make the emotions manageable to deal with, or find healthy substitutes.
