Addiction, whether to substances, alcohol, or behaviours like gambling or pornography, often serves as a coping mechanism for deeper emotional pain, loss, or unmet needs. Together, we’ll explore what’s driving these patterns beneath the surface. I provide a safe, compassionate space to help you understand addiction’s roots and develop healthier ways to cope, build resilience, and reclaim control.

Feeling out of control and unable to stop engaging in harmful behaviours can feel shameful, over-whelming and hopeless. My approach to addiction treatment is based in a harm reduction model. This approach acknowledges that maintaining abstinence may not be a realistic goal. Without judgement we will work together to set realistic goals that seek to reduce the negative impacts of your addiction. You may choose to explore the roots of your addiction and any other related issues. It will always be up to you. Please reach out for a consult so we can assess whether I am the right therapist to help you move toward change and stability.

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.
