It's time! We're expanding and looking for a creatively minded Administrative Assistant to join the team in Toronto. I am a Master's Level Social Worker specializing in s*x addiction, healing trauma, and mood disorders. I am also a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, teaching the work of Brené Brown; and speaking on podcasts, radio, leadership events and more. I run a thriving private practice in Yorkville and a philanthropic organization that advocates for youth mental health.

Looking for a paid summer intern to assist with administrative tasks and marketing coordination, 10-15 hours a week. This is an opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of two businesses in a welcoming and respectful environment that supports your professional growth. If you are a dynamic, socially conscious and motivated person, please message me with interest.

Have you all seen Brené Brown's recently released Netflix special, A Call to Courage? If you haven't, I highly recommend it! If you're interested in practicing these principals with other like-minded humans, please join us for the final Daring Greatly™ offering before fall. This workshop teaches us how to cultivate a growing sense of enough-ness so that we get out of our own way, show up, be seen and live brave in our lives.

Here's what one past participant said about their experience:

"I learned so very many things about myself: what is working, what isn’t working, the importance of being true and vulnerable and of owning and cherishing my story. My life will never be the same for having taken this workshop… it will forever be so much better... more honest, real, open, vulnerable and loving."

Thursday May 30th (6:30-9pm)
Friday May 31 (9am-5pm)
Saturday June 1 (9am-5pm)

As a kid, I grew up wanting to talk about things that other people didn't: s*x, connection, feelings, arguments... Now as a Certified S*x Addiction Therapist, I’m often talking about them, which led me to begin envisioning creating a sacred space. One where there’s education, open dialogue and exercises that explore and inspire healthy s*xuality and involved coupling. I'm so happy to say that space is now here, and happening this Sunday with the Advanced Care Group. If this speaks to where you're at in your journey, either single or with a partner, please join us!

What’s your 2019 mantra? Reflecting on my own roadmap for the year ahead inspired me to write about HOW to create the life you want, and the practical steps behind getting where you want to go. You can read more here:

What’s your 2019 mantra? The themes that you want to hold close to your chest this year? I’ve been thinking about mine and have come up with a couple. One is the idea of expansion, and the other is a quote by Joseph Campbell: “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek.” The...

Here’s what past participants are saying:

"Overall this workshop let me find myself again. The lost, lonely person that was sinking LOW. Not drowning anymore... floating on my back and enjoying the sun in my face." — Anonymous

"The Daring Workshop was one of the most precious gifts I have given myself, a gift of time, honesty, clarity, vulnerability and love.

I learned so very many things about myself, what is working, what isn’t working, the importance of being true and vulnerable and of owning and cherishing my story. I made new friends who honour and respect the real me (not my image). At times I was nervous and scared and came away feeling brave. At times I was vulnerable and came away feeling accepted and respected. And at all times I felt safe.

I learned new strategies for living a life of owning my story, being brave and being vulnerable. My life will never be the same for having taken this workshop…it will forever be so much better… more honest, real, open, vulnerable and loving." — Anonymous

Tune in to Passion With Dr. Laurie tonight at 10pm! As many of you know, I share the air with s*x and relationship expert Dr. Laurie Betito as a recurring guest specialist on s*x addiction. Tonight is a little different as Laurie is in China, so Paris will be subbing in. We’re guaranteed to have some juicy talk about s*x, both the lighter side of s*x and the darker side of s*x.

You can listen on iHeartRadio, or CJAD 800 Montreal.

As a certified s*x addiction therapist, I’m often looking into the darker sides of s*xuality. My greatest goal is to support clients in coming out of that darkness and into the light. It’s not enough to simply have a s*x life that is healthy. The goal with this workshop is to guide those impacted by s*x addiction and betrayal trauma to heal and create a s*x life filled with passion, excitement, exploration, and deep meaningful connection.

I’ve spent the last year getting ready with my colleague, Justin Inoue, to launch this upcoming program. We can’t wait to share it with all of you! Spaces are filling up fast, so please reserve your spot today.

I'm still in awe and overjoyed that Jodi Larry and my 2nd Daring Way™ group together sold out. Without further adieu, we're launching the 3rd so you can start your New Year off with a bang!

Join us Jan. 24-26. This group will sell out, so we encourage you to register early to take advantage of early registration pricing, available until Dec. 20.

Gaslighting is a way of manipulating a person to believe that what they believe in their gut, what they see in front of their eyes, what they’ve experienced, is not real. It’s one of the most harmful strategies of betrayal. Please read this important article and if you identify with this, I am here to support you!

Have you ever heard of the 1938 stage play “Gaslight” or seen the movie by the same name from the 1960s? Gaslight is about a husband who successfully convinces his wife that she’s...
