Video Game Addiction Therapists in Brooksville, FL

Now Accepting New Clients.... I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Recovery Coach. With over 15 years of experience, I work with individuals, couples, and families. I specializes in both substance and behavioral addiction, depression, anxiety, family conflicts, anger management, and trauma.

I specialize in helping clients work through relational problems. One of the challenges I help clients work through is when one is in a relationship with another presenting with Narcissistic traits. When a client comes to me thinking something is wrong with them after being in such a toxic and emotionally abusive relationship, I help them find themselves again and realize they are not to blame. Helping clients understand they do not deserve to be treated like that is a way I feel most helpful.

Hello all! My primary specialization is addiction counseling for both addicts and their loved ones. I work with a multitude of addictive disorders such as alcohol use, drug abuse, gambling, sexual addiction, video game addiction, and other behavioral addictions. These issues have become unmanageable and have hindered my clients ability to function in everyday life. I provide a safe environment to help my clients acquire positive coping skills, education about their addiction, new perspectives on recovery, forming a recovery support network, and a relationship with God. Recovery is about treating the person, not just the addiction.

My passion is working with families, couples, and men seeking relief from issues related to communication; regulation of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors; and strained or fractured relationships. I also have clinical experience treating anxiety, ADHD, OCD, intrusive thoughts, depression, grief, and trauma. My typical clients seek to relate more peacefully to their loved ones and want to develop more effective coping skills against their daily stressors. Together we can fight the negative patterns that are attempting to wreak havoc in your life and treasured relationships.

Since life is already difficult enough as it is for young adults – from discovering your life’s purpose, navigating through peer pressure and romantic relationships, to transitioning into financial independence – there's no sense in spending any more of it anxious, confused or depressed. Sometimes a helping hand is needed to sort through the clutter of life – and that’s where therapy comes in. Contrary to popular belief, it's not a one-sided conversation where someone simply tells you how to solve all your problems, but rather a relationship that’s built on trust, respect, and a collaborative effort in achieving your goals.

Are you overwhelmed with work or school, at home or in your relationships? Are you ready to start living a happier healthier and more fulfilling life?

Are you looking for a holistic approach to therapy? If so, then I’d be honored to help! We are not created as one-sided, but are multi-faceted. Because of this, I am a board-certified holistic psychologist, certified integrative and licensed counselor, and certified natural health professional.

Hurting? Lost? Confused? Don't know where to go or who to talk to, and there are so many counselors to choose from? How do you choose the right one? I've been there. It's humbling to realize you need to look for a counselor, but when times are desperate, you are willing to put your pride behind you. Every counselor you look at is going to promise a safe, nonjudgmental environment. You already know counseling is supposed to be safe. What you want to know is will counseling work. Will it help you find answers?

Do you feel empty? Hopeless? Do you feel as though your alone on a journey that never seems to end? Is your life a black hole that you just can't fill? You are not alone! I understand the loss of hope. I understand the pain and lonliness can be too great to bear. The great news is that you can move past this place to restore your physical, emotional and spiritual health! I believe in you! I believe that whatever pains you may be suffering, whatever heartache you may feeling, that you are bigger than your pain and suffering.

Everyone has dreams that they just haven't been able to achieve. Maybe you're having trouble with motivation, or you don't know how to start. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression. Or wondering whether your drinking is getting in the way. I help people remove or overcome the obstacles keeping them from being their best selves. Therapy with me is a collaborative partnership where we work together to get you where you want to be.

Are you Considering Counseling? Counseling is an emotionally safe environment where you can explore and examine areas of your life that keep you from finding peace and happiness.

“We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing”. -Charles Schaefer. Play is vital for children to express themselves and learn about their surroundings and general environment. In addition to exploration, it is essential for their development. Allowing the space for them to play freely generates the possibility of understanding their world and their motivation. Instead of the traditional format of communication, we often learn more about a child's thoughts, feelings, motivations, and struggles by watching them play.
