Addiction Counseling

Has your addiction damaged your relationships? Finances? Career? Are you tired of living two lives? Do you tell yourself you won’t do it again, and then somehow you find yourself in your addictive behavior once again? Do you spend a lot of time and money on your addiction? Do you feel great while in the addiction, yet find the aftermath unsettling?

Do you want control, but just can’t seem to get it?

You can get "un-stuck" and back in control... 

Are you in a cycle constantly searching for your next “fix?"  Do you continue to tell yourself that you are going to stop, but never do?  Does your head feel like it's spinning out of control when you can not stop your urges?  Do these thoughts consume your day and not allow you to go about your normal routine?  If you havbe answered yes to any of these questions than Addiction Counseling may just be the answer for you. 

Have no fear, it is possible to stop.  But it starts with recognizing the problem.  Then taking the step to get some help.  Onlly you can make this happen. Addiction requires a trained professional; however you have the power to start the process to change your life.  Some of the things I can help you with are guiding you towards understanding the underlying causes and the triggers that set you up.  Together we can work on the interpersonal challenges that serve as hurdles toyour success, and the coping skills you will need to beat your addiction.

As your therapist, I will walk you through the steps of recovery.  Provide a safe environment for you to ask questions.  Manuever and facilitate our sessions to uncover the underlying issues.  You addiction is a symptom of a larger problem.  These symptoms will not go away until we address all the underlying issues.  And rest assured, we will.  That is my job.

  • Sexual Addiction

  • Pornography Addiction 
  • Shopping Addiction
