I am licensed in California with 20 years of professional work experience, including extensive work as a Substance Abuse Counselor. I have helped clients navigate a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, addiction, depression, and self-esteem issues. My background in addiction counseling has equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of substance use and the recovery process. I specialize in supporting individuals in overcoming substance abuse, using evidence-based techniques, motivational interviewing, and personalized care strategies. In addition to my work with addiction, I also have experience in helping clients build coping mechanisms, improve motivation, and foster greater self-confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Each person’s journey is unique, and I am committed to tailoring our therapy sessions and treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started. Together, we can work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
