Anyone looking for therapy deserves a lot of credit just for thinking about getting help. I really appreciate when people choose to talk to me about their lives. It can be very difficult to find a therapist from a profile and then open up to them. For me, the client is in charge and I think my job is to help people become happier. I want to help the client figure out what they want to work toward and then together we work on that. I like to have regular conversations about how to move forward.
I specialize in behavioral addictions and trauma. I have worked with hundreds of people with gambling problems but I also work with people who have problematic video game play, and pornography issues as well. This means working with families and the underlying causes of addictive behaviors.
Many people who are struggling don't realize how many other people are, or have been in a very similar place. Addictive behavior makes people feel isolated and makes us violate our values so we feel bad about the things we have done. I definitely understand. We can talk and decide if we want to start on a journey of therapy and recovery. I am happy to share.

Just stopping a behavior does not work. When I work with a client who has an issue with addictive behavior, I want to find out what made them susceptible to this addiction and work on that. Recovery generally consists of creating a life where that addictive behavior no longer fits. In recovery, people don't just choose what they do, they choose who they want to be.

It is important to discover the "thing behind the thing" that made a person susceptible to the behavior that is bothering them. I want to explore my client's life with them to learn why they are unhappy and help them find what they can do to become happier. My clients are experts in their lives, and I know how to make lifestyle changes. Together, we can work to help entire families feel better.
