Practice information:

I am a Clinical Counsellor with 15 years of experience working in residential and outpatient treatment programs with both individuals and groups. I have a passion for helping individuals and families impacted by substance use disorders as well as for supporting first responders and other public safety personnel dealing with operational stress injuries. I have served as the clinical director of a residential addiction treatment program, co-facilitated forensic groups for men convicted of sexual offenses, facilitated depression and anxiety groups for men and have led PTSD treatment groups for veterans and first responders. 
 
This journey has culminated in the creation of Resilient Living Recovery (RLR), my virtual mindfulness-based group therapy program for the treatment of mild to moderate problematic substance use. Another career focus of mine is the evolution of the psychedelic-assisted therapy (PaT) space. Along with being a certified PaT administrator, I am dedicated to my commitment as a psychedelic psychotherapist trainer in training. I am very passionate about the potential for enhancing the process of healing of inner pain through the integration of psychedelics.
 
My choice of therapy offers a blend of approaches including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), existential therapy and mindfulness. I also integrate the Invitation to Change (ITC) model into my practice.
