Compulsive Spending Therapy – tailored to you by a CBT Specialist
CBT is considered the best practice and evidence-based therapy for Shopping Addiction.
Note: I use the terms Compulsive Buying Disorder Therapy, Shopping Addiction Counseling, Compulsive Spending Therapy, and Shopaholic Therapy interchangeably.
I am a collaborative therapist. Together, we map out how your buying habits interact with your emotions, look at the patterns that happen online or in stores, and then implement practical CBT tools at a pace that feels right to you.

My Clinical Expertise in CBT for Compulsive Spending Therapy
Along with a Master’s Degree in Social Work, I have an Ontario Addictions Certificate with a specialization in Behavioral Addictions – Shopping, Gaming, Tech Use etc.
I have successfully helped many people who over shop.
Is This You?
- Spending beyond what you can afford
- Regretting your purchases
- Hiding what you bought from a loved one
- Feeling compelled to buy things
- Buying things when you feel sad, angry or bored
- You’ve tried to cut back, but it hasn’t worked
My Style of CBT for Compulsive Buying
- I’ll get to know you, your background, history and truly understand you.
- After, we will gently explore and address the root drivers—whether that looks like adult ADHD impulses, high anxiety, or managing low mood, boredom etc.
- We then make a plan that fits your values and realities and you learn CBT techniques and other methods to change habits, control your emotions and thoughts, in order to stick with your plan.
The Shopping Problem
We live in a North American consumer culture specifically engineered to make us buy things. Whether it is the visual pull of physical retail stores, the convenience of tap-to-pay checkout counters, or the constant temptation of online shopping apps, the urge to spend is everywhere.
( The terms Shopping Addiction, Compulsive Buying Disorder, Shopaholic, OCD Shopping, Impulse Buying, and Oniomania are often used interchangeably.)
