Therapy for Addiction Recovery | Virtual in New Jersey, South Carolina, and Florida

For people maintaining recovery, not starting it. Support for staying steady, one day at a time.
What Brings People Here
You've done the hardest part. You stopped. This is for staying steady in what comes after.
This isn't crisis care or detox. It's steady support for staying where you've already worked hard to get. Recovery doesn't end when the substance does, the harder part is often what comes next: rebuilding routines, managing triggers, and figuring out who you are without it.
By the time most people reach out here, they've already proven to themselves they can stop. What they're looking for is support that helps them stay there, without carrying it alone.
-
Stopping is the first step, not the finish line. A lot of people expect to feel settled right away and are surprised when the hard part is what comes after. That gap is normal, and it's where this work happens.
-
The fear of relapse can sit in the background even when things are going well. We work on understanding your specific triggers and building something more durable than white-knuckling it through the hard moments.
-
For a lot of people, substance use was tangled up with identity, how you socialized, how you coped, how you saw yourself. Figuring out who you are without it is real work, not something that just resolves on its own.
-
Some people have a strong support system. Others are managing recovery quietly, without much outside support. Either way, having a dedicated space to work through what's actually happening can make a real difference.
-
A relapse or a setback doesn't erase the progress you made. This work looks at what happened, what was missing, and what would actually make it hold this time
Most people wait longer than they need to.
01.
You've been managing recovery alone
You don't have to have a support system in place, or a formal program, to want more consistent support. Having a dedicated space to work through what's actually happening can make staying steady easier.
02.
You've stayed steady, but it still feels fragile
Stopping and staying stopped are two different things. Therapy works on what's underneath the day-to-day effort, so staying steady feels less like constant vigilance and more like something solid.
03.
You're not sure this is "recovery work"
This isn't about revisiting rock bottom or retelling your story. It's practical work on triggers, patterns, and what actually helps you stay where you've worked hard to get.
Staying steady in recovery is real, ongoing work, and it's not something most people are meant to do without support. This isn't about starting over. It's about having a space that helps what you've already built actually hold.

I work with men because I believe the work they do in therapy ripples outward, into their families, their relationships, their work.
I am a psychotherapist licensed in New Jersey, South Carolina, and Florida who takes a holistic, results driven approach to mental, emotional, and behavioral health. I specialize in working with men from adolescence through adulthood who are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, performance pressure, and life transitions. My clinical work is grounded in real world experience and an ability to connect with people from all backgrounds.
With over a decade of clinical experience, I tailor care to the individual rather than applying one size fits all solutions. I support men facing complex challenges including anxiety, depression, compulsive behavior patterns, athletic and sports performance concerns, men's issues, and executive level stress. The goal is practical change, sustained growth, and measurable improvement in daily functioning.
My style is compassionate, direct, and solution focused. I help clients cut through noise, address what is actually holding them back, and take ownership of their progress. The work is collaborative, focused, and designed to help clients build momentum toward the life they want, not just talk about it.
The first session is a conversation.
Step One
The First Call
A free 15-minute consultation. You tell me what's going on. We figure out together whether working together makes sense.
Step Two
The First Session
We go deeper. I want to understand what's actually happening, not just the presenting issue, but the context around it.
Step Three
The Ongoing work
Sessions are typically weekly. The work is collaborative and focused. Most men notice meaningful shifts within the first few weeks.
A Collaborative Approach to Meaningful Change
Questions
Things People usually want to know before they reach out.
-
No. A lot of people I work with have never been diagnosed with anything. If anxiety is affecting your daily life, your relationships, or how you feel about yourself, that's enough of a reason to start.
-
Stress usually has a clear source; a deadline, a conflict, a big decision. Anxiety tends to persist even when the stressor is gone, or attach itself to new things before the old ones have settled. In practice, both are worth working on and the approach is similar.
-
That's worth paying attention to. Anxiety doesn't always present as worry. Feeling overwhelmed, unable to wind down, or like you're always slightly behind are all common ways it shows up.
-
Therapy is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety, with or without medication. The research on this is clear. For a lot of people, the tools built in therapy produce more durable change than medication alone.
-
It depends on what you're dealing with. Some people do focused work over 8 to 12 weeks and see real change. Others work longer on deeper patterns. I'll give you my honest read on what I think makes sense for your situation.
-
Yes, with the standard legal exceptions. Everything else stays between us.
