Trauma | Addiction | Grief | Growth
My direct work is informed by lived experience with trauma, mental health challenges, addiction, and recovery. Having navigated these experiences personally, I understand the complex relationship between survival, coping, and behavioral dependence. Through a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, I help individuals develop greater interoceptive awareness and strengthen metacognitive skills while learning to identify and respond to the distinct physiological and psychological dimensions of not only addiction. Rather than focusing on abstinence, my work explores the needs addiction serves in real time, ways to strategically respond in ways that behaviorally severs the addiction from the met need, and practically and gently reconditions the mind and body into an empowered state, free of addiction. The goal is sustainable growth, self-understanding, and meaningful change grounded in both evidence-informed principles and lived experience.
My specific lived experience has also afforded me deep insight in the recovery process from relational trauma, maladaptive attachment patterns, coercive dynamics, and chronic emotional invalidation. Through deep cognitive reframing, insight development, and practical skill-building, my direct work seeks to empower individuals to disengage from harmful relational patterns, establish healthier boundaries, and cultivate a greater sense of agency, self-trust, and psychological resilience.

I provide keynote presentations, workshops, professional trainings, and retreat experiences centered on a new framework for understanding addiction, recovery, and behavioral change. Drawing from the Integrated Placebo-Substitute Method and its anthropological foundations, my trainings help organizations, treatment providers, peer professionals, educators, and community leaders understand addiction as the intersection of physiological dependency and human needs such as coping, ritual, identity, and connection. Trainings combine theory with practical application, equipping participants with measurable tools that strengthen interoceptive awareness, metacognitive skills, and long-term recovery outcomes. Licensing opportunities are available for organizations seeking to implement the methodology within their programs, services, or educational initiatives.
