Life - forever changing. How does one merge in with the change of time when they are stuck in the past with the stories that created such impact and varying degrees of trauma? How does one continue on trying to understand the experiences which led to behavioural addictions or substance use disorders? The battle to "be" and feel free and "okay" is so overwhelming they see no other option than to want to self harm, Use, think of dying, - or feel such shame for thinking about it. What crisis has you gripped by the throat leaving you immobile or so dissociated you don't know where one self begins and the other ends?
I understand and value the gift of vulnerability and what it takes to share things only your mind knows. It is my priority to provide a safe space and ensure you feel free and able to express your thoughts, feelings and experiences. A space where you can safely dissect darkness, explore other perspectives and introduce non-intrusive steps of change....
For those interested in session to dive deeper within lets start with a 15-minute consultation at no cost. I am licensed to work with clients in Saskatchewan as well as BC, Alberta, and Manitoba. Allow your new journey to begin here!

I work with many clients experiencing substance use and behavioural addictions, varying degrees of trauma and suicidal ideation. I believe it takes great courage for one to enter and explore the deepest darkest corners of one's own human experience. I will hold the torch for you to safely explore them & when you are ready to walk out of session, you're sturdy enough to carry the torch with you.
