I take a holistic approach in therapy with specialities in relationship counseling and working with addictive behaviors (substance use and gambling disorders, in particular).
I enjoy working with clients from varied backgrounds, cultures, and stages of life. Working with individuals or couples who are seeking to walk their best path, let go of habits and behaviors that are holding them back, I find challenging and rewarding. The trust that exists between client and counselor for great work to happen, is a privilege and something I take quite seriously.

I specialize in both "older" addictions (drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling) and "newer" addictions (internet, porn, social media, gaming).
Attention guys: Is the stress and anxiety of modern life pushing you over the edge? Is the daily grind driving you crazy or boring you silly? Risking your job or failing out of school because you can't stop gaming or looking at porn? Is social media taking over your life? About to lose your relationship because of your sexual behaviors? Is too much of your time being sucked into the Internet? Does your ADHD seem to make everything in life harder? The list goes on, but the bottom line is this: If you feel that your life and/or behaviors are out-of-control, then you've got a problem. It’s as simple as that. I can help.

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.
