Nicotine and Vaping Addiction Therapist

Break Free. Breathe Deep. Take Back Control with Specialized Treatment for Nicotine and Vaping Addicts from a Licensed Psychotherapist and former Medical Doctor

You deserve to live with clarity, health, and freedom. Therapy can help you:

    •    Identify your triggers and develop healthier coping skills

    •    Heal underlying emotional pain that contributes to addiction

    •    Rebuild self-trust, confidence, and motivation

    •    Navigate setbacks without shame or defeat

    •    Create a smoke-free identity and future

Nicotine addiction—whether through cigarettes, vaping, or smokeless tobacco—is one of the most powerful and persistent dependencies. You may have tried to quit before, only to return during moments of stress, boredom, or emotional overwhelm. If you’re feeling stuck in the cycle, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to do this on your own.

As a therapist specializing in nicotine and vaping addiction, I understand that quitting is about far more than willpower. It’s about untangling the emotional, psychological, and behavioral patterns that fuel the addiction. Nicotine becomes more than a substance—it becomes a coping mechanism, a comfort, even a part of your identity.

In therapy, we go beyond the cravings and withdrawals. We explore the why behind the habit:

    •    What are you trying to numb or avoid?

    •    When did nicotine become your emotional crutch?

    •    What are the stressors or beliefs keeping you hooked?

Together, we will create a personalized plan to help you quit for good—one rooted in self-awareness, stress management, emotional regulation, and long-term behavioral change. We’ll also address any co-occurring issues such as anxiety, trauma, depression, or substance use, all of which can impact your ability to stay nicotine-free.

If you’re ready to breathe easier and take back control of your life, I’m here to help. Recovery isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, and it starts with a single step. Let’s take that step together.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
