Therapist,
COACH,
PODCASTER,
& Love Addiction Expert*
*I’m an expert on my own love addiction recovery and have worked extensively with Pia Mellody’s treatment model—now I want to help YOU become an expert on your recovery.
In 2016, I was 46 years old and reeling from yet another breakup. While I’d experienced this kind of pain many times over the previous two decades–this time was different, because I’d had enough…
And this time I found the help I needed: A therapist who taught me about love addiction. Along with intensive therapy, she also coached and supported me through withdrawal and 90 days of no-contact, a painful but necessary part of my recovery journey.
This experience not only led me to whole-heartedly and authentically know myself for the first time, but I also began studying Pia Mellody’s work and then trained in her model at The Meadows in Arizona. I brought this model to my therapy practice, worked with numerous women struggling with love addiction, and then created my signature online coaching program, Understanding Love Addiction, in order to reach more women in need.
Maybe you’ve successfully worked with a therapist in the past and find yourself wanting structure as you navigate dating in early recovery, or maybe you have an amazing therapist who just doesn’t have experience with love addiction.
I believe therapy is essential for processing the developmental trauma underlying love addiction, but there’s often a need for continued support and guidance outside of the therapy room. In recovery you need tools, a recovery plan of action, and support from someone who gets it.
