My goal is to offer compassionate, holistic care that takes into account the effects of past traumas and helps my clients achieve a healthy balance in their lives. For over two decades, I've been working with individuals who are struggling with dual diagnosis - substance use disorders (SUDs) and underlying mental health disorders. Sometimes small changes can have an immediate positive effect. With my background in sports, I support a holistic lifestyle with my clients that includes a healthy diet, physical activity, and adequate sleep. I believe it's possible for everyone to achieve harmony with good mental health and well-being.

Counselling main focus will always be on the individual and what goals he or she would like to achieve. The space and time provided in counselling are component's to assist in the process of change and personal growth. However space and time will quickly fade into the background as the beautiful process of counselling begins. The counselling process can be a very rare experience in one's life and I sincerely believe it is a shared gift. Asa counsellor, to witness someone facing there fears and struggles is truly astonishing. The fascination of a person allowing another into the depts of their unfiltered life is genuinely remarkable

I treat a variety of common mental health difficulties and life challenges (e.g. mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, complex trauma, relationships issues, stress, low self-esteem, perfectionist traits). Some people aren’t quite sure what’s going on for them, but something just doesn’t feel right. Whatever your struggle is, I want to help you to get your life on track, break out of unhelpful patterns of behaviour, and find meaning and satisfaction in life. I can offer you a safe and non-judgmental space to explore what it is that’s causing you difficulty, and an evidence-based approach to help you to finally move forward.

EMDR is an integrative approach to the treatment of trauma related symptoms, it incorporates both mind and body awareness and has been scientifically proven to alleviate the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I also work in the area of sexuality, counselling individuals who present in therapy with relationship, sexuality and sexual concerns. I allow each individual to explore their sexual fantasies and desires in order to help them develop a level of comfort to converse on key areas of their difficulties.

Substance Use Counsellors
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counsellors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
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 substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
