Sometimes life's problems can seem overwhelming– when we do not know how to deal with them we can become 'stuck'. But once problems are shared with another, they become more tangible and that is a good starting place! The beauty of therapy is that the counsellor becomes a sort of 'tour guide' for exploring challenges and, in collaboration, determining a way forward. Getting those recurring thoughts out of your head and into the real world for exploration is the first step to feeling better. So, no matter the size of your challenges, I promise to provide genuine compassion and warmth to support you in this process.

After practicing social work for 29 years, I recognized trauma is one of the issues individuals struggle with the most, along with chronic pain. I am trained in most therapeutic modalities, in particular, Master Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy for trauma. I am also certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy to help individuals with chronic and acute pain. I meet with individuals on a variety of issues, using strengths based approaches, acknowledging their self determination. If you are struggling with divorce, family issues, moral injury/systemic betrayal, depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD or any other social issue, I can help.

As of April 1st, I will be taking on in-person clients down Fredericton.
It can be difficult to reach out to a professional to open up about your inner world and learning to trust a therapist can be unnerving. A lot of people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little to no opportunity for interaction or authentic connection. Although calling a therapist can be intimidating, I don't believe therapy has to be an intimidating process. I can assure you that as a practitioner, I use a warm empathic approach to connect. Life is too precious to surrender to unhealthy relationships, low self-worth, addiction, and trauma.

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.
