addiction & substance use recovery support

Support for addiction, substance use, and the mental health concerns that often come with it.

Whether you're actively struggling, sober curious, newly in recovery, or years into it and still working through what's underneath — this work is for you.

I specialize in addiction and substance use recovery, including behavioural addictions, using a holistic framework: your mind, body, and life circumstances all matter, not just the substance or behaviour itself. I also work with co-occurring mental health concerns, since addiction rarely shows up on its own — depression, anxiety, and trauma frequently accompany it.

I spent a year and a half working in a private residential addiction recovery centre in Manitoba, and I currently run outpatient addiction recovery and anger management programs alongside individual counselling. This is the population and the work I've built my career around.

A bit about my background

My approach is client-centred and strengths-based. You already know how exhausting it is to try solutions that only skim the surface. Together, we go deeper — understanding the function addiction has served, building sustainable tools, and working toward the life you actually want, not just symptom removal.

I draw on harm reduction principles, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based counselling. If trauma is part of what's driving the substance use — which it very often is — we can also incorporate EMDR.
