"We are all gears in the family machine. If one gear is stuck, we are all stuck."
Do you need to talk about your concerns with a loved one's behavior with-out feeling like you are being judged or judgmental?
Is it important that the person you talk to has first hand knowledge of addiction and they are able to help shed some light on how to understand the person with an addiction’s perspective?
Are the tools and know-how of self-care and staying strong eluding you?
Does the idea of tough love or loving detachment concern you and ultimately leaving you with more questions than answers?
Is the 12 step process or Al- Anon something that does not appeal to you or is outside of your comfort zone?
Let’s remedy that!
Over that past few years I have found that my perspective, personal experience and formal education on addiction have become a valuable resource for more than myself or the person dealing with substance abuse. The ability to help the family members, friends, and partners of those who suffer has transformed into one of my passionate pursuits. I have overcome active addiction myself, therefore I have first hand knowledge of the impact it has on the people we love the most. From this knowledge I am able to share a very objective and multi faceted viewpoint to those in need of understanding or simply getting a good night's sleep.

Exactly what someone like me needed.
"Dean, has really given me some perspective. I have a lot to work on, and because of our conversation I have a good idea where to start. Being able to talk with someone who is on the inside (Addiction Recovery) and has been there, fought it, still beating it’s ass, embraces it, and is able to help me see it from all sides is exactly what someone like me needed."

Safe and compassionate environment.
“Sometimes you need to find someone you can trust and who can help put into words and understand the place you are in, acknowledgment for the things you have faced and confidence and trust in your own skills to move forward. Someone to confidently guide you and convince you that the truth will set you free if accompanied by the work and action in a safe and compassionate environment.”

Eye opening and transforming!
“Speaking with Dean about supporting friends and family in their recovery journey was eye opening and transforming. He has a way of meeting you in your place and clearly stating the behaviours you have, that may be problematic. I am grateful for every conversation I have with this man. If you are trying to manage your own life while caring for those you love, who suffer from addiction. Don't hesitate to make this call.”
