Bio

As a therapist with over 20 years of experience in the Addictions Counselling field, I can help you re-connect to that place inside of you that is yearning to be healthy in all areas of your life. I can help you identify the addictive and compulsive behaviours that have been damaging your sense of self-esteem, and teach you how to make the necessary changes to develop healthier responses to life. I can also help you if your loved ones are engaging in addictive behaviours. If you love an addict, you are likely experiencing stress in your life and in your relationships. My book Loving an Addict, Loving Yourself: The Top 10 Survival Tips for Loving Someone With An Addiction, a 2010 International Book Award winner, will show you how to shift your focus from your loved one's addiction to your own self-care.
