I specialize in substance abuse, gambling, sex addiction, depression, anxiety and borderline personality disorder.
Accepting new clients! I have always been drawn to human beings; their stories and struggles. I am intrigued by life narratives and always had the desire to help in any capacity. Becoming a mother at the young age of 16 opened my eyes to the struggles that exist and the necessity of support in our lives. You don't need to travel these back roads alone! ​If I could choose my best life, it would be outside. I love the water, trees, mountains and feel most comfortable in nature. My success is based on my empathic, genuine self. I strive to bring that to each interaction. Compatibility is key!

Challenges can arise however when great sex (or any intimacy at all) is a distant memory, communication becomes stuck, and a feeling of closeness is longed for again. These are all signs that a different approach is needed to end the frustration and created a renewed aliveness. The desire for intimacy, to feel connected, and to matter are key aspects of who we are as human beings.

Have you been experiencing seemingly uncontrollable compulsions and urges to engage in behaviors you know you may regret later? At its core, addiction is defined as continuing doing something despite seeing clearly negative consequences of your behaviors. You feel as if something prevents you from taking decisive actions that are based on your values. I have successfully helped people suffering from sex addictions, alcohol addiction and drug addiction. I believe that you deserve a better life where you regulate your emotions and urges and not the other way around.

How do gambling rehabilitation programs work?

There are both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs. However, for some individuals, an outpatient facility may not offer enough hands-on care, and for other individuals, an inpatient facility may be too much. Both types of care have knowledgeable health professionals including physicians (in the case of residential programs), psychologists, counselors, psychotherapists, and recovered mentors.

How do gambling 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Abstinence and maintenance are key for 12-step gambling disorder programs. Individuals in a 12-step group rely on each other for support and accountability. In addition, there is often a spiritual element to these programs, whereby belief in a higher power can help the individual overcome their tendencies. If an individual genuinely wants to cease gambling, attending a 12-step program along with regular psychotherapy can be highly effective.

How long does therapy take for gambling disorder?

Recovering from gambling disorder takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but a person can see change if they stick with therapy and if they have the will and desire to stop. Treatment for gambling disorder requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers, as well as the development of coping skills. Making lifestyle changes is also important, such as staying away from lotteries, online gambling, and casinos.

Is relapse a problem for those with a gambling disorder?

Gambling disorder is often chronic and can be life-long; therefore relapse may present a problem for some individuals. But effective treatment can bring a person’s life under control. To remain healthy and on track, the individual may need to regularly check in with their support group or psychotherapist. Frequently refreshing their tools of recovery can be helpful.
