If you are using something outside of you to change or numb how you feel on the inside, then you may need some help to quit doing what's not working. Many people struggling with addictions have other emotional and relational problems, and need help addressing multiple issues.

Addiction is a mental health condition and I treat addiction by a multi-pronged process predominately from a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) model. I help my clients understand the reasons they use a substance or engage in an addictive behavior, teach them skills regulate their emotions and tolerance distress that might otherwise lead them to engage in their addiction, and address any underlying issues that contribute to their addiction. I also help clients with with concerns about their substance use or compulsive behavior to avoid developing addictions.

Addictions have a wide range and can vary from drugs and alcohol to pornography or cell phone or video game use to love addiction in relationships. Codependency can also become a compulsive or addictive relational pattern. I work with clients struggling with addiction to have the support to address and work through the underlying emotional hurts. As clients work through and replace their addictive behaviors with healthier ones, they see their confidence return and a new ability to find and maintain healthy relationships.
