I am the founder of the Dual-Brain Psychology Institute for the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and psychological wellbeing. (www.dual-brainpsychologyinstitute) and the author of Of Two Mind: Dual Brain Psychology (on Amazon) and the recipient of a successful, published NIH funded clinical trial on opioid cravings. My primary focus is the understanding and treatment of one's inner emotional distress and its impact on one's everyday life.
I offer a novel approach that posits that trauma is more associated with one brain hemisphere (left or right) and needs to become the focus of an empathic, psychodynamic understanding and assistance. I am also a researcher at McLean/Harvard and have published 26 experiments on Dual-Brain Psychology.
I focus on the empathic use of psychological understanding to deeply understand and treat the roots of your addiction. I enjoy working with people with a curiosity about their psychology and find that helping an injured inner aspect of a person is an essential part of enduring improvement.
