Message to clients

No matter your gambling or addiction struggle, I have the resources to help. I specialize in evaluation and treating those worried about their gambling, and I'll work with you to find your best treatment plan. Due to my specialization, I am fortunate to hold a contract in working to treat this population since a major consequence can be debt and lack of funds.

I employ a therapeutic approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), and focusing on treating the whole individual including family members and friends. I customize treatment individually to meet your specific needs.

So if you're ready to take the first step towards dealing with your gambling or just speak with someone about worrying behavior, contact me today. I'm here to help you begin your gambling recovery journey and am committed to overcoming the challenges that are standing in your way.
