About me
I am a very experienced psychotherapist who specializes in addictions and trauma, from both a harm reduction and abstinence-based perspective.
For 25 years, I have assisted people with a variety of addictions, from the exogenous abuse of drugs and alcohol, to the ones that stem from the chemicals already inside the brain, such as sex and love addiction, abandonment patterns, sexual compulsions, gambling, internet, and workaholism. Unlike most psychotherapists, I’m a Board Certified Addiction Specialist, well versed in both abstinence and harm reduction strategies. Unlike most addiction professionals, I am also psychotherapist who also treats the anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues that often manifest after being uncovered through recovery.
Integral Recovery is not just “abstinence,” or reducing the harms of an addiction. In Re-covery, we Un-cover and Dis-cover who we really are in all our dimensions, and freed from the unhealthy habits, we start to grow again.
