I view addiction not just as a problem but an unhelpful solution to a different problem. Often, we turn to addiction to get away from something else. It is that “something else” that we would try to understand in our sessions. We will then work to find healthier ways of coping to replace the addiction. I also specialize in helping reduce cannabis use, which may not be addictive as a substance but has addictive effects. It is never too late to start this journey. Call today to book a free consultation.

Addiction can occur with many substances and activities - alcohol, street drugs, prescription drugs, caffeine, food, porn, sex, gambling, Together, we will gain insight into the root of your addiction and the purpose it has served in your life. I will provide us with the compassionate and supportive dynamic essential to your journey of creating the life experience you desire.

Whether the addiction relates to substance use or a behaviour (such as video games, pornography, et c.), it often thrives in environments where our needs aren't being recognized and met effectively. Therapy for addiction is often centered around recognizing how our addiction behaviour is helping us meet our own needs, where these needs came from, and identifying ways of meeting them in more helpful, healthy ways.
