Having 28yrs experience I will provide measurable tools to manage emotional crises right now. This is where DBT (Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation) provides the safety net.
You need a balance of non-judgmental acceptance (radical acceptance of their current struggle) and firm, compassionate challenge (holding them accountable for behavioral change).
You wish to understand how the skills learned in therapy connect to the spiritual and relational principles of 12-Step programs (e.g., acceptance, willingness, inventory work).
To improve all areas of your life and relationships.
Addiction & Family System Counsellor.
Specializing in supporting individuals and families through the complexities of addiction. My therapeutic framework includes DBT (for emotional regulation and distress tolerance), CBT (for challenging thought patterns), and integration of 12-Step principles. I offer specific support for family healing and communication
Emphasizing Emotional Skills and Family Healing (DBT/CBT Focus)
"You're not broken, and neither is your family. You’re simply running on old patterns—and that pattern needs a change.
If you’re the one struggling with addiction, you’re tired of the emotional roller coaster. You feel things intensely, and you just want practical, proven tools.
