Did you wake up today and think to yourself, "something isn't right" or "I can't go on like this"? If you are struggling with your substance use and you're feeling like you are no longer in control, it might be time to consider change. Maybe you are tired of hiding your drinking as a way to cope with your mood. Maybe you have noticed that while getting high works in the moment to help manage your nerves, you are actually more anxious now than you have ever been. Change is scary, but may be necessary for you to reach your full potential.

I have been supporting individuals in the community with concurrent mental health and substance use struggles for over a decade. I provide a nonjudgemental space for you to open up about your struggles. I am skilled at supporting both harm reduction and abstinence based goals. I am a certified hypnotherapist.

You are not alone. I believe the opposite of addiction is connection. You are not weak and this is not a question of how much will power you have. Give yourself the gift of connection and meaning. Let's shift the focus from how to stay afloat to how to reclaim your full potential. Embrace a life worth living.

I like to draw from several treatment modalities and really tailor the treatment to what you need. There are so many different options to choose from that I find sticking with just one can be limiting. I find that Dialectical Behavioural Therapy has many helpful strategies for dealing with life's ups and downs. As well Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can be helpful in challenging harmful thoughts.
