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.

In addiction therapy, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space to help you understand and address behaviours that feel out of control. Whether you’re struggling with alcohol, substances, food, gambling, gaming, or sex addiction, I work with you to explore the underlying causes, identify triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. Together, we focus on building self-awareness, regaining control, and creating lasting change so you can lead a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I work with clients who feel stuck in cycles of substance use, compulsive behaviors, or emotional dependency, helping them understand what’s driving the pattern and how to shift it. This isn’t about shame or judgment—it’s about building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a life that feels worth staying present for. If you’re ready to face what’s underneath and start creating lasting change, I’m here to support you. Online booking is available—let’s take that first step together.

In my approach to addictions I work with clients to understand how the addiction may be helping them to cope and help them to learn alternate healthy coping mechanisms. Addressing related underlying issues may also be important in helping clients to leave the addiction behind. Although clients often find it difficult to let go of the addiction, they slowly feel ready as they begin to take steps and have more positive life experiences, which are also explored during therapy. Client strengths, motivations, hopes, and values are also considered and through these approaches clients begin to feel safe, satisfied, and happy living their life without the addiction.

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.
