There are many times in one person's life where one seeks support and information with resolving personal and psychological difficulties. Seeking counselling at this time will help break isolation and improve coping more effectively and quickly. Finding a good fit with someone is important to the success of the journey. I am trained in Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) where a client directs the counselling relationship by the feedback they provide. I believe in the right FIT and relationship between client and counsellor to be of great importance in helping a client in counselling.

I am interested in helping people evolve their understanding of their internal emotional and cognitive landscape using Rogerian person-centered counselling techniques as well as some introductory Internal Family Systems parts mapping techniques. When you consider your mind as a system of various parts, it becomes possible to understand conflicting thoughts and/or emotions in new ways that naturally promote healing, acceptance, and peace. This approach can be used to facilitate exciting changes in thought processes that lead to a more satisfying life.

I'm glad you are reaching out. It can be tough finding the right therapist. Relationships can be very tough. Stress, kids, affairs, grief and trauma can create a distance between us and the people we love. We can cause a lot of harm to those closest to us and end up wondering how we got to where we are. This is the focus of my work. There is hope, even when things feel like they are at the very end.

Therapy can be life-changing—but it can also feel intimidating. Esther understands this well. Coming from a background where counseling wasn’t always accepted, her own search for support felt overwhelming and uncertain. Now, as a therapist, she helps others navigate that same journey—especially those asking, “How do I find someone who truly gets me?” Esther takes a person-centered, trauma-informed approach and integrates tools from: Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, AEDP (Level 2), Gottman Couples Therapy (Levels 1 & 2), EFFT, Somatic work, and, Motivational Interviewing.

As we go through life, we form beliefs that shape how we see the world and ourselves. Sometimes, these beliefs are false and can lead to feelings like helplessness or hopelessness. As a counsellor, I help clients recognize and understand these beliefs. With care and proven methods, I guide them in replacing harmful thoughts with healthier, and more positive ones.

Alcohol Use Counsellors

Are there specific medications for alcohol use?

There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
