Counseling For Addiction

Counseling For Addiction

If you’re here, it means you’re considering a change—and that’s a courageous first step. I offer compassionate and personalized substance abuse recovery counseling to individuals in California provided entirely through secure phone or video sessions. This virtual approach allows you to receive support in a space where you feel most safe and comfortable—whether that’s at home or in your office.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our work together. All sessions are protected by strict state and federal laws, as well as the ethical standards of counselor-client privilege, so you can share your experiences openly and without judgment.

We begin our work with a comprehensive assessment, typically lasting 90 minutes to two hours. This is not just about gathering information—it’s about taking the time to truly understand you. Together, we’ll explore the biological, emotional, and life circumstances that may be influencing your relationship with substances. From there, we’ll create a recovery plan that reflects your personal values, challenges, and goals.

In our ongoing weekly or bi-weekly sessions, I use Motivational Interviewing (MI)—a respectful, collaborative approach that helps you explore ambivalence, strengthen self-awareness, and build confidence in your ability to change. This isn’t about telling you what to do—it’s about helping you discover your own path toward a more empowered, meaningful, and substance-free life.

You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
