You might look like you’re managing life just fine, but inside, things feel heavy, overwhelming, or stuck. I work with teens and adults who are struggling with OCD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or major life stressors and want more than surface level coping skills. Many of my clients are high functioning, thoughtful people who feel worn down from carrying too much on their own.

I'm a Gambling Addiction specialist with 20+ years of experience helping high-achieving professional men (age 30+) in NYC end their problem gambling.
My approach helps compulsive gamblers by teaching them effective skills and more importantly helping them gain the insights necessary to recreate their lives. We don't just focus on your problem gambling, though, but rather address all of your struggles/areas in your life. Addiction is never just about a behavior, and so this is a "whole-person" solution.

You may find yourself feeling stuck in unfulfilling relationship patterns, weighed down by anxiety, struggling to reconnect with yourself after loss or change, or carrying the weight of old wounds that still feel present. Maybe you find it hard to trust, to set boundaries, or let others in without fear. I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can slow down, explore what’s underneath the surface, and begin to rebuild self-trust, confidence, and connection—both with yourself and others. I have training from the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) and experience working with children in school settings.

Gambling addiction can take a serious toll—but effective help is available.
In developing a treatment plan, there is no “one size fits all” approach to therapy. I want to better understand you as an individual and the reason that brought you to therapy.

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.
