I offer a new approach to addressing gambling addiction problems related to sports betting, options/day/crypto trading, online casino/video games, poker, etc., one that is very flexible and individualized, not based off of antiquated ideas, and an alternative to the very dogmatic philosophy of Gamblers Anonymous (GA). I use my wealth of experience that I have gained throughout the years as well as a host of evidence-based strategies to really help you make the best possible progress. Most importantly, I work with whatever goals are meaningful to you and treat all of your problems and concerns (as your compulsive gambling behavior is very often not your only struggle or issue).

The traditional approaches to treating gambling addiction do not work for many people, and the philosophy and limited focus of Gamblers Anonymous are often not a good fit for higher-functioning, compulsive gamblers. I help you really figure it all out so you can overcome this addiction. My approach is flexible and individualized, and it can help almost anyone resolve their gambling addiction. I work with you to achieve your goals and gain back control of your life. This may involve abstinence, learning moderation, or simply reducing your gambling to a more optimal level.
My approach helps compulsive gamblers by teaching them effective skills and 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.
My approach relies on the very best time-tested techniques. It not only targets your gambling problem but teaches you how to fix all of your struggles, including anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, relationship problems, work issues, etc. As such, my treatment doesn't just help you overcome gambling, but more importantly, it helps you achieve a truly fulfilling life.
