Few challenges in life are as difficult as quitting an addiction. If you're feeling stuck, there is a way out. Psychotherapy is proven to treat addiction safely and effectively. There are many benefits to seeking help for addiction: most of all, it allows you to take back control of your life and reconnect to the things that matter. I use tools and strategies that are especially effective at getting to the root of issues so you maintain the changes you make in therapy.

Addiction can be a scary thing that is often surrounded by ambiguity and confusion: why do I continue to use when I know it is bad for me? Why do I want to use in the first place? Why can't I seem to stop using and why cant I change? In working with clients, step 1 of our work is figuring out the answers to these questions and figuring out why addiction occurs in the first place. After this, we explore tools, resources, and therapies that will best work for clients in helping them create the changes they need and to promote the lives they want.

My work with addictions has included providing therapy to individuals and couples who struggle with many life issues which has led to the development of alcohol, drugs, sex, or other types of addictions. My approach includes a thorough assessment, co-developing a treatment plan, and ways to help you become accountable and self-reliant. I believe in harm reduction as a focus toward developing a healthier lifestyle.

Addictions can appear in many forms including substance addictions, internet addiction, sex addiction, gambling addiction, shopping addiction, pornography, social media, excessive exercise, food, etc. Strong cravings with a loss of control can lead people to become addicted in spite of possible dire consequences. Counselling is one of several possible treatments available for addictions. Individual, group and family therapies have been found to be helpful in order to inform a client regarding the harmful effects the addiction may have on themselves, their friends, family and society. Promoting physical, emotional and spiritual well being is often critical for the rehabilitation process.
