Soften the Shame and Stigmas Associated with Problems of Addiction.

“Addictive Behavior” could be said to represent any unwanted or self-defeating habit that one impulsively continues to repeat even when this clearly leads to unwanted negative consequences.

This refers to those irritating and persistent actions that one continues take, even though such actions clearly lead to — or will likely create — profoundly negative outcomes. One may complain of being somehow “stuck” with such repetitive, irrational, and high-risk habits. One may engage in such actions over and above other priorities (financial, medical, marital, occupational, and social), impulsively acting out such habits to one’s own detriment or causing harm to others.

Addiction Counselor:

Working compassionately with clients who struggle with unwanted habits or suffer from addictive behavior problems, I specialize with private assessment and personalized behavior change strategies. If you seek individualized help with the resolution of unwanted and self-defeating habits, struggles with chemicals, or other life-defeating actions – give me a call. I help people find personal solutions to all manner of unwanted conduct they struggle to control: computer gaming, pornography, binge eating, chat rooms or gambling.

  • Are you struggling with unwanted and life defeating habits?
  • Have you been unsuccessful at resolving these habits alone?
  • Do you habits seem to be controlling you . . .


Learn Lasting Coping Skills and Useful Behavior Change Strategies. For people who are struggling with addictive behavior, drug abuse, or chemical dependency and “perpetually getting ready to quit” my practice offers Motivational Enhancement Counseling, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Relapse Prevention methods. I warmly assist ambivalent, confused, or frightened drug users to effectively learn to escape the often fatal grip of addictive behavior patterns that start with simple substance abuse. Hopefully, you will take action before simple chemical dependency translates into a full blown addictive disorder with physical withdrawal which requires medically monitored detox or inpatient hospitalization.

Compulsive Use of Internet Technology

The terms "Cyber Addiction and Internet Addiction Disorder" has been recently coined to describe compulsive problems related to computer use, console games, and various forms of online technology. Such “clean addictions” have been highlighted as reflecting non-chemical dependencies. A virtual wave of popularity has found game consoles like the X Box, PlayStation, and Nintendo Wii, to be common entertainment in American households. This wave of virtual entertainment has revealed in its wake some alarming consequences.

The “cyber addict” has emerged. Compulsive gamers are grafting themselves to game consoles as their life vitality virtually deteriorates and washes away in cyber-reality. The pattern of life compromises parallels the pattern of symptoms found in those who suffer chemical dependency: occupations are squandered, marriages are destroyed, mental and behavioral health becomes disorganized, much like the symptoms associated with narcotic addiction.
