Using substances excessively, whether it’s illicit drugs or prescription medication, can really take a toll on your physical and mental health. Illicit drug use can lead to legal issues, financial problems, and strained relationships. It also increases the risk of health problems like infections, overdose, and mental health disorders.
In counselling, you’ll find a non-judgmental space where you can talk openly, grow, and start building a life free from substances. We’re here to help you rebuild and move forward.

My mission is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel empowered to break free from problematic drug use and start rebuilding your future.
Illicit drug use can touch every aspect of your life—relationships, work, health, and self-worth. In our counselling sessions, I go beyond just treating the symptoms; I delve into the root causes of your drug use. Together, we’ll uncover the emotional pain, patterns, and triggers that drive your behaviour, paving the way for lasting change.
My approach is non-judgmental, offering a space where you can share your struggles openly, without fear of shame or stigma. With my experience in various clinical roles, I’ve come to understand that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey; it’s unique to each individual.
That’s why we work together to co-create a path forward that is meaningful and personal to you.
I believe that everyone deserves the chance to change and grow. Through a consistent and supportive therapeutic relationship, counselling can become the cornerstone for rebuilding your life and achieving long-term recovery.
