Counselling

We understand from experience what is it like dealing with the family disease of addiction. As a mother with lived experience and daughter with a social work background, we now make a mother-daughter counselling team to help those experiencing family addiction issues and trauma. Our combination of lived experience, education, and professional backgrounds make us qualified to help individuals and their families through addiction, mental health challenges and trauma.

We are trained in trauma-informed practice and volunteered together at the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre. We are currently training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), with our future goals to also be trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).

Please contact us for more information about our counselling fees and structure. We are currently accepting web-based clients.

Certified Life Coach, Strategic Intervention

 As a Certified Addiction Counsellor with almost a decade of sobriety, I understand firsthand the disease of addiction. I grew up in an alcoholic home and have lived experience with dysfunctional family systems. I am a trauma and childhood sexual abuse survivor.

In my almost 10 years of sobriety, I have been active within the Alcoholics Anonymous recovery community, attending meetings regularly, and speaking at AA conferences in Canada and the US sharing my personal journey. My passion for helping others to overcome addiction led me to becoming a Certified Life Coach, and later on obtain my Addictions Careworker Diploma from McMaster University. 

Within the addictions field, I have worked directly with clients delivering groups and one on one counselling sessions at some of the top treatment centres in Toronto such as Bellwood Health Services and Renascent.
