Hi, I’m Ken.

This isn’t just a business - it's a place where meaningful change grows from a place of trust, safety, and understanding. I bring a practical, supportive, and nonjudgmental approach to my work, helping individuals understand the patterns driving their behavior and develop real-world strategies for change. My goal is to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to regain control, rebuild stability, and move forward with confidence in their recovery.

Specialized Expertise in Gambling Addiction

I am a nationally recognized gambling addiction specialist (ICGC-II) with a Master’s degree in Addiction Counseling. I am licensed as an LIAC, LCADC, and LAC, and I have dedicated my career to working with individuals affected by gambling addiction.

Trauma-Informed Gambling Addiction Therapy

I am also a PhD candidate in Psychology with a focus on trauma and disaster response. This training informs my trauma-informed approach to gambling and video gaming addiction treatment, recognizing how trauma, loss, and chronic stress often play a role in addictive behaviors.

By addressing both gambling behaviors and underlying emotional experiences, I help clients create meaningful and lasting change.

My Approach

My Approach to Gambling Addiction Treatment

I work with individuals struggling with gambling addiction, problem gambling, and compulsive gambling behaviors. I understand that gambling addiction is not about willpower or moral failure—it is a complex, treatable condition influenced by neurobiology, stress, learning, and trauma.

My approach to gambling addiction therapy is collaborative, respectful, and trauma-informed. Together, we focus on understanding patterns, strengthening coping skills, preventing relapse, and building sustainable recovery..

Specialized Expertise in Gambling Addiction

My clinical experience includes:

  • Gambling addiction counseling and therapy

  • Treatment for behavioral and process addictions

  • Relapse prevention and recovery planning

  • Support for co-occurring mental health concerns

What You Can Expect When Working With Me

Clients often describe me as grounded, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I strive to create a safe, confidential space where you can speak openly about gambling, urges, relapse, and the impact addiction has had on your life—without judgment or shame.

Treatment is individualized, practical, and paced to support long-term recovery.
