If you're facing problematic substance use or addiction you probably feel tired, out of control, and maybe even hopeless. The good news is, there is hope and you're not alone. Addiction comes in many different forms and is a complex issue to manage. If you or someone you love are looking for help or support please reach out. I support people with substance use, misuse, abuse, dependence, mental health concerns, as well as their family and friends who often feel uncertain as to how to move forward.
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist with 10+ years experience working in individual and group settings. I specialize in psychoeducation, early intervention, and treatment for substance use, concurrent disorders, and general mental health. I'm currently employed at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre working with adolescents in the Early Intervention Program.
I believe that a compassionate and non-judgmental approach is vital for building rapport and trust between us. I promise to support and work with you to set practical goals which will help you to stop unhealthy patterns, manage difficult emotions, develop resiliency, and improve your relationships with others as well as yourself.
