Video Game Addiction Therapists in Frederick, MD

I am comfortable working with serious persistent mental health issues, harmful family dynamics, personality disorders, and addiction problems. I also have a straightforward, lifestyle-based approach to issues like mood swings, anxiety, and insomnia.

Asking for help is not easy. It takes an immense amount of courage to step into a stranger's office and share your story with them. As a therapist, earning my client's trust and working with them to find solutions that can improve their life is a great honor. I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a range of issues including sexual addiction, couples and family conflict, developmental disabilities, codependency, anxiety, and depression.

Ideal clients have tried other treatments and the issue persists. My/our clients may come with anxiety, PTSD, trauma, weight, smoking, sleeping, pain, restless leg and other severe or chronic issues. I have worked with veteran issues, ms, lupus, damaged spine, fibromyalgia, fears, sleep/insomnia, medical compliance, motivation. I have multiple certifications, research and science background and apply the latest methods that produce lasting results

Are you a human who struggles with life? Do you find yourself "going through the motions"? Do you feel like you're constantly in survival mode, going from one crisis to the next? Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed or increasingly alone? Does your mind race at night, does it replay all of your mistakes? We all struggle with these kinds of thoughts/feelings because of how our mind works. Imagine if you didn't have to struggle and you were engaged in your life in more meaningful ways. You can become more active and engaged in your life and be who you truly want to be. You can LIVE more and struggle less.

Things have a way of not working out the way they we thought they would. The stories of our lives begin in the families we are given with all of their foibles and experiences. Pages that become chapters of pain, trauma or loss can engulf the one that feels trapped in the narrative. After a plot twist of epic proportions, I left a 16-year career in the intelligence community and began a new chapter. I’ve had to confront the sources, rewrite the narrative, consult the author and find myself in the pages. The refinement process can be a horrific one but in the truth, freedom is found. Together, we can find healing.

Are you overwhelmed with school, work, and life decisions? Does it feel like you don’t have the focus or confidence to follow through with your goals? Are you struggling to build relationships and feel anxious or withdrawn in social situations? Parents, do you feel like you’re spinning your wheels to motivate and prepare your child for adulthood and its falling on deaf ears? Are you unsure how to approach conversations you know are crucial during adolescence? Do you long for a relationship where you can be a guide instead of a nag?

Many people want change but oftentimes that first step is the most daunting. We can get caught up trying to make the right choice and out of fear of being wrong, make no choice at all. If you are reading this, chances are that you are seeking change for yourself or someone close to you. We all need help at some point. When it's healthy and effective, it can make the difference between meeting your goals or remaining stuck and frustrated.

Do you notice swirling thoughts that don't seem to have a viable solution often distracting you to the point you’ve missed several songs on the radio? Perhaps you’ve lost interest in activities you used to find enjoyable. Maybe you’ve found yourself engaging in compulsive behaviors such as online pornography, gambling, video gaming, shopping, or sex to distract yourself from your worries. Many who experience these issues are struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, or family/relationship challenges. These symptoms can sap your energy and leave you feeling as though you've lost your way in your life's journey.

Very often, our lives can begin to overwhelm what we are able to handle on our own. In these times it can be very easy to begin feeling lost, out of control, or simply out of ideas. I have made it my focus to be able to help people not only identify what is happening in these situations, but helping clients develop skills and personal strength which will help them be able to deal with these struggles in an ongoing fashion.
