Problem gambling is one of the most hidden addictions in the U.S. due to the shame and stigma associated with gambling problems. Many people still mistake problem gambling for a moral problem or simply see it as poor choice making, rather than understanding the complex brain hijacking that problem gambling is for some people who can’t quit. Several neurotransmitters including dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, opioids, to name a few, are acting simultaneously on the brain during problem gambling.

Do you find yourself struggling to live comfortably, happily, in the life you lead? Almost half of US Citizens experience Clinical anxiety and/or depression in their lifetimes. And all of us experience sadness, frustration, fear and worry. Would it surprise you to learn that the story we tell about our lives goes a long way towards defining the experiences we have? It’s not simply WHAT happens to us, but, more importantly, what we make of what happens to us, that guides our experience of an event or interaction. We are telling the wrong stories about our lives! We need to learn how to challenge what we know and learn a new way.

Dreams and the unconscious hold symbols that assist in the healing process for depression, anxiety, and addictions. As a Jungian clinical counselor, I use these tools to help you establish a connection between consciousness and the higher Self. The Self then becomes a strong core from which we can operate in a healed and healthy manner. We are no longer driven by unconscious complexes and desires, but make conscious decisions that support life and its many expressions.

When a client brings their narrative and their struggles, I want to provide them a respectful and compassionate space to express emotions. Clients who have difficulty with depression, life transitions and anxiety are my specialty, especially bringing clarity during scary and uncertain times.

If you feel unsupported—or suffer from grief, anxiety, depression, or trauma — I offer professional help in a warm and safe environment.
