Description
I am accepting new clients. I specialize in treatment of substance abuse, addiction, gambling addiction, porn addiction and internet addiction. In addition, I specialize in couples counselling and trauma therapy and PTSD therapy. If you are going through a difficult time in your life , I believe counselling can help. My counselling is a person centered approach. I have over 19 years experience in counselling work and during my career I have worked within the Canadian Armed Forces, the Correctional Service of Canada and Youth Corrections.
