Whether it's video lottery terminals, casinos, sports betting, prediction markets, or day trading, the effects of gambling addiction can be isolating and financially and emotionally crushing, often compounded by shame and stigma that keep people from asking for help. I have specialized education, training, and experience treating problem gambling in both individuals and relationships. Together, we explore what makes gambling uniquely challenging as well as the underlying factors driving it.

Our primary relationships become our primary attachment figures, surfacing our oldest protections, patterns, and needs, which is exactly what gives them the biggest potential for both conflict and mutual healing. Often, couples find themselves repeating old pain points in an effort to finally resolve them, but end up disconnected, resentful, and isolated instead. I help couples feel truly seen, respond intentionally instead of react, and build nourishing contact that grows trust and intimacy.

Codependent patterns usually started as ways of staying safe and connected in early relationships, often ones where love felt conditional. Over time, though, those same patterns can leave you feeling like you don't know who you are outside of what other people need from you. In therapy, we explore where these patterns came from and build your self-trust from there, so you can set clearer boundaries and find more balanced, honest connection.

We experience life not just in our minds, but in our bodies—our experiences shape the way we think, feel, and how our nervous systems respond, all wired together. When that connection gets disrupted by trauma, it can leave you feeling stuck in old survival responses, even when your mind understands you're safe. To heal, we work from the inside out: reconnecting mind and body to build greater awareness and trust, so you have real choice in how you participate in life.

Family systems are complex, and many families simply don't have the tools to navigate conflict, loss, addiction, or trauma with compassion and connection, so old patterns and roles get passed down and repeated instead of resolved. In family therapy, we focus on how members influence each other, the roles they've settled into, family rules, boundaries, and communication. I help families feel heard and valued while working together to shift stuck patterns toward greater trust and empathy.

Couples often get stuck in patterns that go beyond simple miscommunication—disconnection, resentment, feeling unheard, needs that never quite get met. These patterns usually aren't really about what you're arguing about; they're old automatic responses playing out in real time. I use PACT to cut through the stories and see what's actually happening, in the body as much as the words—building emotional regulation and shifting those responses toward real connection.
