Are you experiencing feelings of sadness, fear, distress, or isolation due to issues related to gambling, gaming, sexual behavior, or pornography? Have you noticed a decrease in your ability to control these behaviors, leading to feelings of despair, anxiety, depression, or loneliness? With over fifteen years of tenure as a deeply experienced Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor specializing in mental health and behavioral addiction treatment, my commitment is to offer understanding and empathetic support to those seeking help.
I specialize in treating gambling and behavioral addictions through Birches Health, a program designed specifically for these challenges. Care may include individual therapy, group support, and family or couples sessions, all tailored to your situation. Sessions are fully virtual, private, and delivered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.
My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their underlying emotions, enhance self-awareness, and develop healthier coping strategies.
