Is the voice in your head telling you that you're stupid, lazy, weak, not good enough? It can be hard to make sense of these feelings or know how to deal with them. Unfortunately that leaves many of us turning to anger and vices ( gambling, drinking, sex, drugs). This only leaves you feeling temporarily soothed but even worse about yourself in the long run. And you get trapped in what seems like a never ending cycle of self-hate and self-medicating. I promise this cycle can stop and I am here to help! I specialize in working with clients self-medicating with vices and am ready to help you take back control of your life.

Life can be challenging, and you don't have to figure it out on your own. Many factors shape who we are and how we feel, some of which we’re not even aware of. Therapy provides the opportunity to gain understanding of those things in a safe and supportive environment. I consider my part in your journey of self-discovery as a privilege. I understand seeking help is truly an act of courage, which I deeply appreciate and respect.

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.
