I am able to provide consultation sessions for those who are concerned about addictive behaviours they are seeing in a partner or family member. These consultation sessions focus on helping you to become aware of the range of addiction treatment options available in the Durham Region and GTA – as well as the potential advantages and potential drawbacks of these options. These consultation sessions will also focus on how to best communicate with your partner or loved one about your concerns.
In addition to my Masters’-level psychotherapy training, I have an additional year of specialized training in addiction treatment. I also worked as an addictions counsellor for more than 5 years at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto and have continued to provide addictions counselling as part of my private practice for the past 5 years. I currently serve as a professor and as the program coordinator for the Addictions and Mental Health Graduate Certificate program at Durham College.
