Addicitons Specialist

As an advanced national certified addicitons specialist, I offer support to those who are interested in working through that which lies behind their push to use.

My experience in designing and running the Harm Reduction Program at PIDARC in Washington DC between 2018 and 2021 has provided me with a deep understanding of the dynamics that drive our desire to use, dynamics which are rarely addressed in programs concerned primarily with enforcing abstinence, and which may thus fail to provide a lasting foundation for a robust sobriety.

For example, while progranms such as AA and regard their members as always in recovery, why would you want to cover something up again? If re-covering is your goal, AA may be enough to enforce abstinence. Yet many people enjoy using all sorts of substances without becoming addicted to them. So why not uncover your push to use if loosening this push may effect a more permanent, robust and less restrictive enjoyment?

As such, I offer a rare and unique opportunity to explore and work through the powerful wishes that animate our complusion to use, opeining up the potential of a life free of the tyranny of addiction.
