Addiction Therapists in St Albert, AB.

I have worked with individuals and families impacted by addiction and substance use, approaching these issues through a lens of trauma, attachment, and self-compassion. I support clients in exploring the underlying pain, patterns, and unmet needs that contribute to addictive behaviours, while developing healthier coping strategies and restoring self-worth. Healing is supported through connection, understanding, and practical skill-building.

Addiction is often the surface problem, it's a way of staying away from a greater pain that is below the surface. Doing addiction counselling with me is a gentle and compassionate process of tending to the real issues below the addiction, so that there is no longer a need to engage in this harmful behaviour. When you pull out the roots of a weed, the weed will not grow back, and real change has been achieved!

Ready for change? In your life, relationships, and with yourself ? Change begins with you. Exploring how your addiction has influenced your life and imagining how your life can be by rewriting your relationship with addiction. Our lives and our pathways are not written in stone. When we tell our stories in ways that can make us stronger, we can discover - we are not the problem - the problem is the problem. When we separate ourselves from the problem, we can begin to revise our relationships with problems and gain new insight into different ways we can live our lives. I can help you discover ways to reclaim your past and re-envision your future and change your relationship with addiction.

In my approach to addiction counselling, I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to explore and address the root causes of addictive behaviours. IFS helps uncover the underlying emotional wounds, traumas, or unmet needs that may be driving the addiction, allowing for deep healing and transformation. By working with the different parts of the self that may be holding onto patterns of addiction, clients can better understand the internal conflicts that contribute to their behaviours. This holistic approach promotes long-term recovery by fostering self-awareness, self-compassion, and the development of healthier coping mechanisms.
