Are old patterns undermining the life you’ve built? When the ways you cope begin to harm your relationships, finances, work, or sense of self, lasting change requires more than willpower. I treat financial disorders, sex addiction and other intimacy disorders, substance and process addiction, and trauma. I use IFS (Internal Family Systems), ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), and PIT (Post Induction Therapy by Pia Mellody). I’m a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and a Certified Multiple Addictions Therapist specializing in Financial Disorders (CMAT). I’m in progress of completing my PhD in Performance Psychology.
My clinical leadership experience at world-renowned Meadows Behavioral Healthcare allows me to offer you cutting edge treatment. I've been fortunate to learn directly from Meadows senior fellows including Dr. Richard Schwartz (IFS), Dr. Patrick Carnes, and Dr. Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) to address trauma, addiction and co-occurring disorders.
You may not believe it yet, but all of the resources you need to heal already exist within you. Let's uncover those resources together and put them to work so you can live your most full, integrated life! You are worthy of it.
