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.

"Addiction", whether it be over-using drugs, internet, sex, etc., is a means of seeking pleasure in order to mask difficult feelings and thoughts that you may be dealing with. Sometimes, the pain of difficult or traumatic experiences becomes so intense that we unknowingly turn to unhealthy means of gratification. It is my goal to collaboratively, delicately and thoughtfully explore the underlying reasons of your excessive use of drugs, internet, etc., and support the working through and acknowledgement of the feelings and thoughts associated with the underlying reasons. If you are persistent in obtaining health and a happier existence, you will experience healing and release from pain.

When we experience difficult times, it can be easy to turn to substances and distractions to numb the pain. This is a natural protective strategy. Some clients seek to stop this completely, while others seek to find a way to better manage their current use. Our aim is to find out what is best for you. If you feel stuck and could use support, read out to use and let's explore where to start.

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.

If we do something repeatedly, that we would rather not do, then we have an addiction. The problem with addictions is that people get hurt. The addicted person may not recognize the seriousness of their situation, but eventually both the addict and their loved ones suffer tremendously in a state of helplessness. Many families have been destroyed from addictive behaviour such as substance addiction (drugs/alcohol), gambling, sexual addictions, gaming/internet addictions. A counsellor can help. Workshops, groups, individual or family counselling can assist in breaking the devastating cycle of addiction. Coping skills and emotional awareness to negotiate compelling urges and compulsive in

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!

Addiction is a complex and multifaceted issue that can impact many areas of your life, including relationships, work, and overall well-being. It’s essential to recognize that addiction is not merely a matter of willpower or moral failure; rather, it often involves deep-seated emotional and psychological factors that require compassionate understanding and support. My goal as your therapist is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore these issues openly. Recovery is a journey, and it may have ups and downs along the way. It’s important to be patient and compassionate with yourself as you navigate this process. I am here to support you every step of the way.
