Book a SessionWhen you're struggling with a video game addiction, it can feel like you're in a digital cage. You're connected to a virtual world, but disconnected from your own life. The goal of counseling isn't just to get you offline. It's to help you reclaim your life and find a new sense of purpose. We'll work together to help you understand the "why" behind your reliance on video games and help you find new ways to connect to the world around you. You can live a life that is full and rewarding.
Yes! Therapy is a powerful tool to help you stop the cycle of video game addiction. Think of it as a guide to help you find your way out of the maze. Therapy helps you identify the triggers that lead to your compulsive video game use and teaches you new coping skills. We’ll also help you find new ways to handle life’s stresses and difficult emotions without turning to video games. We believe you have the power to change and to find a new way to live.
It can be hard to know if you have a video game addiction. But if your video game use is impacting your relationships, work, or health, it might be a sign that you have a problem. You may be spending more time on video games than on other important things in your life. We understand that this is a difficult thing to admit. We'll provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore what’s happening and help you take the first step to a better life.
A healthy hobby is something you enjoy and can easily put down. Video game addiction is when the hobby becomes a compulsive need that you feel you can't control. It's when your video game use starts to negatively impact your life. We can work together to help you understand your unique experience and develop a plan to take control.

I am a therapist who specializes in supporting clients' healing from trauma, navigating eating disorders, and feeling overwhelmed by life stress. My approach is compassionate and structured, helping clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and regain a sense of stability and control. I work collaboratively to create a safe space where clients can process experiences, challenge unhelpful patterns, and move toward sustainable change.
Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives.
Emotional pain can make us feel alone and stuck in the past, where negative events overshadow the present and leave us feeling trapped with no way to move forward.
While therapy can feel intimidating or uncomfortable, it is my priority to create a safe environment where clients can feel authentically themselves.
I have 10 years' experience as an outpatient therapist and crisis counselor, supporting individuals with acute and persistent mental health challenges.
