Addiction is, not surprisingly, very common in society today. It takes many forms and there are as many reasons for it as there are people who experience it. My work is tailored to the client specifically, and I work with them to fully understand what is helpful or useful for them about the addictive behaviour as well as what could be gained by letting it go completely. It's important to me that they see both sides, along with the life circumstances and emotions which contributed to the addiction in the first place. As a nurse, I have additional expertise in substance use and can help my clients get medically-based interventions when it is appropriate.

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.

My approach to counselling is attachment based and trauma informed. I have extensive training in emotionally focused therapy, the gold standard in couple's therapy, which I apply in my work with couples, families, and individuals. Addiction often isolates us and keeps us from forming meaningful and intimate relationships with those most important to us. During our sessions I will be engaged and focused on helping you to make the positive changes you are looking to make and helping you to build stronger and more authentic relationships.

From there, they can develop a personalized treatment plan that suits the individual's needs. There are different types of therapy modalities used in addiction therapy, including motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy.

Let's face it, we all have some kind of addiction. Whether it is illegal or legal substances (like sugar or coffee), we all face this challenge to a greater or lesser degree. Guilt & shame will drive us further from ourselves & others. Armed with responsibility & a well stocked emotional toolbox, self management can be obtained and maintained. This is all very doable, with support and commitment to change.
