Alcohol & Cannabis Counselling

Is alcohol or cannabis taking up more space in your life than you'd like?

​

Many people wonder whether their drinking or cannabis use has become a problem.

You may not identify as having an addiction. You may still be working, caring for your family, and meeting your responsibilities. Yet something doesn't feel quite right.

​

Perhaps you're:

  • Drinking more often than you intended

  • Using cannabis to relax, sleep, or escape stress

  • Feeling guilty about your use

  • Arguing with your partner about alcohol or marijuana

  • Finding it difficult to cut back despite wanting to

  • Wondering if your habits are affecting your health, mood, motivation, or relationships
     

If this sounds familiar, therapy can help.
 

A Practical and Non-Judgmental Approach
 

Many clients seek support because alcohol or cannabis has become their primary way of coping with stress, anxiety, loneliness, boredom, grief, or difficult emotions.
 

Together, we will explore:
 

  • The role alcohol or cannabis plays in your life

  • Triggers that lead to use

  • Healthier coping strategies

  • Managing cravings and urges

  • Reducing shame and self-criticism

  • Building a life that requires less escape and more connection
     

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping you make meaningful changes at a pace that feels manageable.

Support for Couples

​

Substance use rarely affects only one person. I provide couples counselling for alcohol use and marijuana use.

​

When one partner drinks heavily or uses cannabis regularly, couples often experience:

  • Increased conflict

  • Broken trust

  • Communication difficulties

  • Feelings of resentment or loneliness

  • Different expectations about what is "normal" use
     

Couples counselling can help both partners better understand one another, improve communication, rebuild trust, and create healthier agreements around alcohol or cannabis use.

Whether one partner wants to reduce their use, is unsure if they have a problem, or is already making changes, therapy can provide a supportive space for both people.
 

Common Concerns I Help With:

​

  • Alcohol use

  • Problem drinking

  • Binge drinking

  • Cannabis use

  • Marijuana dependence

  • Cutting back on alcohol

  • Cutting back on cannabis

  • Stress-related substance use

  • Drinking to cope with anxiety

  • Cannabis use and motivation

  • Relationship issues related to alcohol or cannabis

  • Couples affected by substance use

  • Harm reduction counselling 
     

You Don't Have to Hit Rock Bottom
 

Many people seek therapy long before alcohol or cannabis causes major consequences.

Often, the most successful changes happen when people become curious about their habits early and seek support before things escalate.
 

If you're questioning your relationship with alcohol or cannabis, that alone may be enough reason to reach out.

You deserve support without judgment.
