Has something that started as a hobby or one-time activity slowly taken over your life? Do you get irritable or angry when you can’t engage in it? Has it replaced activities you once enjoyed or caused problems in your relationships, at home, school, or work? Do you find yourself continuing despite the negative effects, seeking temporary relief by immersing yourself further?

Whether you’re struggling with drug addiction or gaming addiction, I understand the difficulty of maintaining relationships and transitioning back to "real life." I can help you set boundaries, understand what you're trying to escape from, and find ways to regain control. With over four years of experience working with drug addiction and personal experience using gaming (like D&D, MMOs, and other video games) to cope, I can help you figure out what’s keeping you from moving forward.

No matter what addiction "Final Boss" you're up against, it takes a community to achieve victory. My door is always open for you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. Even if addiction isn't your main struggle, I also work with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.
