You know the pattern. You pick up your phone to “check one thing” and suddenly 45 minutes have disappeared into scrolling, videos, or refreshing feeds. You promise yourself you’ll focus tomorrow, but tomorrow feels the same.
This isn’t a character flaw. It’s dopamine addiction—a hijacking of your brain’s reward system by apps, content, and behaviors engineered to keep you hooked.
The result? Fractured attention, productivity guilt, disrupted sleep, and the nagging feeling that you’re wasting time on things that don’t matter while your real goals slip further away.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. You’re stuck in a system designed to keep you stuck.

As a dopamine addiction and dopamine detox coach, I work with people who:
If this describes you, dopamine addiction coaching can help.
We map out exactly when, where, and why you reach for high-dopamine behaviors. No guessing—just data.
We make dopamine traps harder to access and healthier alternatives easier. Think: phone in another room, app blockers with accountability, friction before scrolling.
Cold turkey fails because it leaves a void. We replace dopamine loops with activities that feel genuinely rewarding—reading, movement, creative work, connection.
We slowly reintroduce lower-stimulation activities so your brain recalibrates. Over time, "boring" tasks start feeling engaging again.
We build weekly check-ins, accountability systems, and recovery plans for when you slip. This isn't about perfection—it's about progress.
Clients who work with me as their dopamine addiction and dopamine detox coach typically experience:
Ability to do deep work without constant urges to check your phone
I applied cognitive-behavioral techniques, habit research, and environmental design to rewire my pattern
Breaking evening scrolling habits leads to better rest and recovery
Hours previously lost to scrolling now available for meaningful work or hobbies
Freedom from the shame cycle of "wasting time" and feeling out of control
Systems that stick long-term, not just during motivation spikes

We discuss your specific dopamine addiction patterns and determine if we’re a good fit.
I’ll have you track your behaviors for one week so we understand exactly what we’re working with—no judgment, just data.
Based on your triggers and goals, I create a structured, evidence-based plan that fits your life.
We meet weekly to review progress, troubleshoot challenges, and adjust strategies as needed.
Once you’ve broken the cycle, we build systems to maintain your new habits without constant oversight.
I’m not a therapist, and I’m not claiming to treat clinical addiction. But I am someone who:
I spent years staying up until 3am scrolling, procrastinating on my PhD, and feeling trapped in cycles I couldn't break
I applied cognitive-behavioral techniques, habit research, and environmental design to rewire my pattern
PhD in Education Policy, ICF-trained coach, NASM-certified trainer and nutrition coach (I understand behavior change from multiple angles)
I don't sell dopamine detox boot camps or 30-day challenges that fail. I build systems that last.
As a dopamine addiction and dopamine detox coach, my goal isn’t to make you fear technology or live like a monk. It’s to help you regain control so you use your phone—rather than letting it use you.
While “dopamine addiction” isn’t a clinical diagnosis, dopamine dysregulation is well-documented in neuroscience. Behaviors like excessive social media use, gaming, and content consumption can create dependency patterns similar to substance addiction—and they respond to similar interventions.
No. The goal isn’t elimination—it’s regulation. We’ll identify which platforms and behaviors are problematic for you, then create boundaries that allow healthy use without falling into compulsive patterns.
Most clients see significant improvements within 4-8 weeks of consistent work. Full habit rewiring typically takes 3-6 months, depending on how deep the patterns run.
That’s common. Most people fail at cold turkey approaches because they don’t address the underlying triggers or build replacement behaviors. As a dopamine addiction coach, I help you understand why you relapse and design systems to prevent it.
No. I’m a coach, not a therapist. If you’re dealing with clinical depression, anxiety, or trauma, I recommend working with a licensed therapist alongside coaching. I focus on behavior change, habit formation, and practical systems.
