Today, my own personal journey has helped me be able to emotionally connect with my clients who suffer with similar trauma. I have worked in the field of addictions counselling for over 20 years in detox centres, residential treatment centres, addiction outpatient clinics, and drinking driver programs in addition to one-to-one therapy in private practice. Successful outcomes have been improved communication skills, better anger management, greater assertiveness and boundaries, enhanced self-worth and generally being at greater peace and feeling happier.
