Meet David
A dedicated addiction and co-dependency counsellor committed to guiding individuals and/or families through the complexity of recovering.

Having experienced the difficulties of recovery personally, he realized his ultimate calling: helping others navigate life's complexities of addictions, recovery and co-dependency. David has been helping people as an addiction counsellor ever since.

He focuses on simultaneously working with the addict and/or the family. Working one-on-one to build a new path to recovery and removing co-dependent barriers to healthy lifestyles.
