Addiction

Addiction can feel all-consuming and isolating. Whether it’s a substance that you can’t seem to quit or a compulsive behavior that dominates your thoughts and actions, it often feels like you’re trapped in a cycle you can’t break. The guilt, shame, and frustration that come with trying to stop on your own can leave you feeling hopeless and stuck.

 

Both substance and process addictions—like gambling, gaming, or sex—can take a heavy toll on your physical health, emotional well-being, and relationships. It can be hard to see a way forward when the addiction feels like it’s taken over, leaving little room for the life you truly want.

 

Seeking support is a powerful first step. Therapy can help you understand the roots of your addiction, identify triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. Together, we can work toward breaking the cycle, rebuilding trust in yourself, and creating a path toward lasting recovery and balance.

Behavioral Addiction in Plantation and Coral Gables, FL

Addiction therapy

Behavioral addictions—such as sex addiction, porn addiction, gaming addiction, gambling, or compulsive shopping—can feel just as consuming and overwhelming as substance abuse. These behaviors may begin as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, or emotional pain, but over time, they can take over your life, causing damage to relationships, finances, and your overall well-being.

​

You might feel trapped in a cycle of shame, guilt, and self-loathing. Despite your best efforts to stop, these urges seem uncontrollable, and you may be hiding your struggles from others out of fear of being judged.

​

The pain points of behavioral addiction are real:

  • Loss of control over your impulses, even when you try to stop

  • Relationship strain, including broken trust with loved ones

  • Financial problems or mounting debt from compulsive behaviors

  • Feelings of shame and guilt that make it difficult to seek help

  • Escaping emotional pain or stress through unhealthy behaviors

​

With almost a decade working with addiction, I understand that tit is not a matter of willpower but that addiction is deeply rooted struggle. I'm here to support you with compassionate, evidence-based treatments that address the underlying causes of your addiction and help you break free from the cycle.

Teen Addiction in Plantation and Coral Gables, FL

Teen therapy

Addiction in teens can be especially challenging, whether it's to substances, gaming, or social media. These behaviors often start as ways to cope with stress, loneliness, or peer pressure, but over time, they can take over, affecting a teen's relationships, mental health, and future.

​

Teens struggling with addiction may face:

  • Escalating substance use or excessive gaming/social media use

  • Isolation from family and friends

  • Declining academic performance and lack of motivation

  • Increased anxiety, depression, or emotional numbness

  • Difficulty managing emotions and making healthy decisions

  • ​

Because teens are still developing emotionally and cognitively, these addictions can feel like an escape, but they often worsen with time. 

​

If you're concerned about your teen’s addiction, reach out today. I'm here to guide them toward a brighter, healthier future.

Loving Someone Struggling with Addiction

Family Therapy

Together, we’ll address feelings of helplessness, fear, and exhaustion while finding ways to care for yourself and maintain balance. My goal is to help you feel empowered and supported as you navigate this challenging journey with compassion and clarity.
