I work with individuals and families navigating addiction and recovery. They show up carrying the weight of uncertainty, guilt, grief, shame, fractured trust, and the exhausting question of what now. Some are early in recovery and learning to navigate life on life's terms. Others have been living alongside a loved one's addiction for years and have lost themselves along the way, no longer understanding their role. Whether you are seeking personal healing or a path forward together as a family, I offer a space where your experience is met without judgement, and where change becomes possible, one decision at a time.
I offer individual and family counselling for addiction recovery, trauma, and grief. Drawing on lived experience and clinical training, I provide trauma-informed, family-systems-based therapy that addresses root causes, not just symptoms. My approach integrates evidence-based practice with compassion, empowering clients to heal as individuals and as families
Recovery is hard. So is watching someone you love struggle with addiction. Whether you are seeking healing for yourself or your family, you do not have to navigate this alone. I understand the weight of this journey from both sides of the door. When you are ready, I am here.
