Fighting about money leaves us feeling disconnected, frustrated, and lost about next steps.

You’re ready to be transparent about money. You’re ready to share your financial fears and hopes. You’re ready to stop letting money come between you and start living a life aligned with each other.

With over 25 years of professional experience and years of private practice, I left the therapy world when I discovered the opportunity to advocate for individuals and families.

Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time.

When we are young, we have a vision of what we want our lives to become. We want the best for our children, to have strong positive relationships, be happy, and achieve success. We see ourselves in a job that is fun and fulfilling something we want to do, and a group of friends with which to embark on adventures. Through the ebbs and flows of life, that vision we had when we were young transforms. We encounter obstacles, personal traumas, and life-altering events that significantly impact our well-being. We get caught up in pleasing others, providing for others, and longing for something more.

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.
