Do you struggle with substance use, anger, depression, anxiety, psychosis, or distressing sexual thoughts or behaviours - challenges that affect your relationships, work, self-worth, and ability to move forward? Do you feel overwhelmed or ashamed trying to break harmful patterns? You're not alone. I specialize in working with individuals navigating substance use, significant mental health difficulties, intimate partner violence, sexual offences, or justice-related concerns. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental support for clients in Ontario and Newfoundland ready to take the next step toward change.
With 17+ years of experience, I use evidence-based tools like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and relapse prevention to support your goals - whether that’s harm reduction, abstinence, or personal growth. I create a safe space where you can take accountability, explore change, and build a healthier path forward.
Healing and change are possible - even if it hasn’t felt that way before. Together, we can address what’s holding you back and help you move toward meaningful, lasting change. Contact me via Psychology Today for a free consultation, or book a consult or appointment online now via my website.
