Waitlist for new clients
We all deserve a place where we can feel safe and supported. Through my practice, I aim to provide a genuine, non-judgmental, and empathic space for you to explore your concerns and work towards your personal goals. I believe that therapy is meant to help people learn more about themselves and their experiences. I work collaboratively with clients to share their thoughts, process their emotions and experiences, develop insight, improve their relationships, and build skills for managing distress.

Reaching out for help is hard, especially in our most vulnerable moments, so I work hard to make therapy a comfortable, approachable, and worthwhile experience for my clients. I work with clients experiencing issues like depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues, trauma, and much more. For those experiencing trauma, I'm a trained EMDR therapist with experience helping individuals heal from the negative beliefs that they’ve taken on, and the traumatic experiences they’ve had in life. Whatever you may be going through, I'm honored to join you on a journey of healing.

There is only one time that is important...NOW. It is the most important time because it is the only time that we have any power. You just want to feel happy, healthy, and confident. Instead, you often feel overwhelmed, unsure, or disconnected. We go through life managing internal struggles, while attempting mental gymnastics to navigate our circumstances. However, we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them. As a therapist with experience in helping those from every walk of life, my passion is helping clients heal through self-affirmation by challenging and changing perceptions.

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.
