Many addiction treatment plans try to get you to avoid places and things that trigger addiction. In contrast, my approach is to go to the root causes of addiction, so that you can disarm your triggers completely. Addiction is often driven by pain and self-defeating beliefs. Over the years, we've learned to run away from our pain by engaging in behaviours that temporarily change how we feel, but leave us feeling shamed and defeated. When you are able to learn ways to reduce and heal the root pain that drives addiction , triggers lose their power and you can live free of shame, back in control of your life!

My approach to addiction is not about managing cravings or enforcing control. Addiction is the visible symptom of a deeper fracture — disconnection from self, others, and the sacred. It is a response to unresolved trauma, attachment injuries, and existential pain. Our work is not about behavior management but about restoring right relationship — with your own inner life, with the wounds that shaped you, and with the possibility of living in a way that no longer requires the addiction to survive.

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.

Let's face it, we all have some kind of addiction. Whether it is illegal or legal substances (like sugar or coffee), we all face this challenge to a greater or lesser degree. Guilt & shame will drive us further from ourselves & others. Armed with responsibility & a well stocked emotional toolbox, self management can be obtained and maintained. This is all very doable, with support and commitment to change.

Addictions often go hand-in-hand with emotional distress, masking a deeper pain beneath the surface. The hopes of finding relief leads many to soothe emotional and mental discomfort by using substances in excess. Having a non-judgmental safe space to gain emotional support and reflect on life is fundamental when trying to make positive changes. You're invited to reach out and see if psychotherapy online is right for you.

In L9T 5M7 - Nearby to Erin.

Clients who come to me with addictions or substance misuse challenges will be met with a non-judgemental, consistently optimistic approach. Together, we will address the causes and course of the substance use, and resolve the issues that acted as the catalyst. We will identify possible triggers, develop effective strategies for harm-reduction and/or recovery, depending on the readiness, and goals of the individual. The pace of therapy will be guided by the client, and relapse will be accepted with understanding and compassion. Without question, it is difficult to overcome an addiction. But with the right support, insight and motivation, it is more than possible.

Contrary to what is believed, addiction usually starts with a positive impact on a person’s life and even sometimes saves their life. However, as the time goes by, this creative adjustment becomes outdated and turns into a problem. Therefore, working with addiction should not be about illuminating the symptoms or the manifestations of the addiction, but rather trying to understand the reasons underlying the addiction and the function that it used to serve. A successful recovery is only possible through understanding and even respecting the addiction. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

If you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction, you’re not alone. In fact, the Canadian Mental Health Association estimates that 21% of Canadians will struggle with some form of addiction (substance or behaviour) within their lifetime. Addiction is often a misunderstood, complex and pervasive life challenge, that impacts a person’s ability to maintain satisfying relationships and enjoy a fulfilling life. I help adult men struggling with addiction(s) better understand their beliefs, behaviours and emotions. Together, we develop coping strategies to address the emotional pain, often associated with addiction, with a renewed strength, determination and sense of accomplishment.

ChatGPT said: In my work with addiction, I approach recovery as a process of understanding and healing rather than judgment or control. I see addictive patterns as attempts to cope with pain, disconnection, or unmet emotional needs. Together, we work to uncover the underlying experiences that fuel these behaviours, while developing healthier ways to manage distress and build self-compassion. I integrate mindfulness, emotional regulation, and trauma-informed approaches to support lasting change. My goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, cultivate agency, and move toward a life rooted in authenticity, balance, and meaningful connection.

I provide a supportive environment, acknowledge clients' challenges and validate their experiences without judgment.

Addiction comes in many packages. Many people who suffer from addiction may suffer from multiple layers of addiction. Addiction is a condition in which a person engages in the use of a substance or in a behavior for which the rewarding effects provide a compelling incentive to repeatedly pursue the behavior despite detrimental consequences. Because addiction affects the brain’s executive functions, individuals who develop an addiction may not be aware that their behavior is causing problems for themselves and others. Over time, pursuit of the pleasurable effects of the substance or behavior may dominate an individual’s activities. In some cases a referral may be made.
