About My Clients

My clients are often high-functioning professionals who have been caught by addictions and compulsions that impair their life. Some impairments seem more subtle, not doing their best, harming relationships by hiding and lying. For many others, their careers and family life are threatened due to their drug and alcohol use , sexual compulsions and/or desires, gambling losses. My clients are open to introspection and self-exploration, and some explore consciousness to create inner freedom.

My Background and Approach

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.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone can achieve less suffering in this life by attaining more inner freedom.
