Brianne is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a Certified Canadian Addiction Counsellor and a registered member of the Canadian Addiction Counsellors Certification Federation.

Brianne’s training started in 2013 and has transpired into a passion for helping those struggling with addiction. She works from a trauma-informed, holistic approach providing a supportive and safe space in recovery. Brianne has worked one-on-one with individuals looking to change their behaviour, as well as with family members and loved ones seeking support. Brianne uses an integrative approach to healing, customizing your treatment plan to meet you exactly where you are.

Although Brianne has spent the last decade training in various modalities, her capacity to connect and hold an empathetic space is a result of her own personal experiences of substance use and loss. Brianne has experienced the powerfully reinforcing effects of disconnection and external relief. It wasn’t until Brianne stepped into her own space of healing where she broke through beliefs, healed wounded parts and gave herself the space to be with, and experience, her emotions. It was through this release and holding where she aligned with her truth and passion to help others.
