Telehealth Availability:

Telehealth appointments are available Monday through Friday, including early morning, daytime, and limited evening appointments. I provide virtual therapy to clients throughout California and offer flexible scheduling to help make therapy accessible around work, school, and daily responsibilities.

Clients I Work With

I work with clients who are struggling with substance use, addiction, alcohol or drug use, and the mental health challenges that often accompany them, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and low self-esteem. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or uncertain about how to move forward. Whether you're questioning your relationship with substances, beginning recovery, returning after a relapse, or working to maintain long-term sobriety, I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be honest about your experiences. Together, we'll identify the underlying factors contributing to your challenges, develop healthier coping skills, build resilience, and create realistic goals that support lasting recovery and meaningful personal growth. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs.

Approach

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel safe, heard, and supported. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I use evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Strength-Based Therapy to help you better understand yourself, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll explore the underlying thoughts, emotions, and experiences contributing to your challenges. Together, we'll build healthier coping skills, strengthen your confidence, and create practical strategies that support long-term recovery and overall well-being. My goal is to help you leave each session feeling empowered, supported, and equipped with tools you can use in everyday life.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. Everyone has a unique story, and I recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy or recovery. Whether you're struggling with substance use, anxiety, depression, or another life challenge, I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you can be yourself and feel comfortable exploring difficult thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, I value authenticity, compassion, and collaboration. I believe clients are the experts on their own lives, and my role is to provide guidance, evidence-based tools, and encouragement as we work toward your goals together. I approach every client with curiosity rather than assumptions, recognizing that meaningful change happens at your own pace. My hope is that you leave each session feeling understood, empowered, and equipped with practical skills that support lasting recovery, emotional well-being, and personal growth.

More About My Practice

I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout California, making it easier to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. My practice specializes in substance use and addiction, while also treating anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, and other co-occurring mental health challenges. Whether you're seeking support for recovery, working through a difficult life season, or looking to better understand yourself, I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel supported every step of the way. I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Sessions focus on helping you gain insight, develop healthier coping skills, improve emotional well-being, and create lasting change that extends beyond the therapy room. My goal is to help you feel empowered, confident, and equipped with the tools needed to build a healthier, more fulfilling life.
