At the heart of my practice lies a deep commitment to guiding individuals through the complexities of trauma, attachment, and relationship issues. There's nothing more rewarding to me than witnessing the transformative journey towards healing from these challenges. Clients often seek support for a range of struggles, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship breakdown. These burdens often stem from early traumatic experiences and ruptured attachment bonds with caregivers. Together, we will illuminate these hurdles, uncover your potential to navigate them and co-create new meanings for your life moving forward.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I use a variety of modalities and approaches to treatment.

My practice focuses on helping individuals to understand and develop a greater understanding of their struggle through cognitive, affective, Behavioural and systematic intervention strategies that address wellness, personal growth and pathology.

The greatest thing about life is that no one is ever taught how to live life; we all learn on a daily basis and that can come with its own challenges. We are all trying our best everyday and it is okay if we don't know the answer all the time. This is where it becomes important to ask for help. As they instruct us in airplanes to put on our oxygen masks first before helping others, it is a reminder that we must help ourselves first in order to be there for others. Asking for help is a strength and is not selfish, but is self-care.

Charles Dickens once remarked that “a wonderful fact to reflect upon is that every human is a profound secret and mystery to every other." Despite how unique we all are, we often tend to spend much of our lives suffering, searching for happiness in places we struggle to ever find. Our wounds are the gateways to the most sacred parts of us and when we are open to new possibilities, we find what we had hoped for. It would be my honour to help make those possibilities your present realities.

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.
