I don't just focus on your problem gambling, though, but rather address all of your struggles/areas in your life.
The traditional approaches to treating gambling addiction do not work for many people, and the philosophy and limited focus of Gamblers Anonymous are often not a good fit for higher-functioning, compulsive gamblers. I help you really figure it all out so you can overcome this addiction. My approach is flexible and individualized, and it can help almost anyone make substantial progress towards resolving their gambling addiction. I work with you to achieve your goals and ultimately build a truly fulfilling life for yourself. This may involve abstinence, learning moderation, or simply reducing your gambling to a more optimal level.

My years in the field of compulsive gambling and money disorders eventually led me to co-author the renowned book, Behind the Eight Ball: A Recovery Guide for Families of Gamblers.
Obstacles that can lead to compulsive behaviors, isolation and overwhelming frustration must be addressed if we are to make healthier and more fulfilling personal choices. As a nationally recognized expert in the field of addiction and compulsive disorders, my therapeutic approach is derived from a strength oriented perspective in which patients are encouraged to tap into their own resilience, and unique resources. The results of our work together will be an individualized therapeutic experience, where meaningful change is possible.

I am well acquainted with various approaches and modalities to help you or those you love deal with alcohol or chemical dependency, substance use disorder, problem gambling, compulsive cell/Internet use, or sex/porn addiction.
I work with individuals, couples, and families who are trying to cope with their own or a loved one's chemical or behavioral addiction, relationship challenges, work issues, or life decisions. I also see people who aren’t enduring any of those concerns, but who want to speak on a regular basis to address small issues before they become big ones. My style is conversational, direct, and investigative. I listen carefully both to what is said and for what is omitted, ask questions until we agree that I understand your perspective, and help guide you to long-term solutions. For therapists: I am available for supervision.

Everyone has a story to tell, but sometimes our own story can feel narrated out of our control, leading us to feel helpless and overwhelmed. Perhaps you are turning to maladaptive behaviors to self-medicate pain, grief, heartache... My job is to empower you to put yourself back into the driver’s seat of your own life. If we were to zoom out together, what environment or life challenges have kept you stuck? My typical client struggles with underlying trauma that may contribute to behavioral challenges (difficulty moderating substance use, gambling), relationship issues, low self-worth, emotional distress.

In my years of practice I have had the opportunity to work with a broad range of people on a wide range of issues. The skills of the therapist, developed and refined over many years are of importance in the clinical setting. Helping clients access their emotional and cognitive processing is a significant component of the work. I work with individuals, couples and families who feel "stuck" to identify the underlying causes and work towards defining goals that will spell "relief". Collaboration and reinforcement are significant in the process in order to help achieve the goals that are established and help create change.

Hello and welcome to my profile. By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating. I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect. Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

Gambling Therapists

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.
