As a certified Substance Use Disorder Counselor offering independent, non-clinical recovery support, I want you to feel safe, respected, and empowered.

Yes, I can support you—even if you've recently experienced a relapse. Relapses are part of many people's recovery journeys. They don’t erase your progress—they simply mark a moment where extra support is needed. I’m here to walk alongside you, without judgment, as you take your next steps forward.

I can meet you wherever you are in your journey—even if you're not ready to stop completely. I offer harm reduction strategies and compassionate support to help you make gradual, meaningful changes at your own pace.

Yes, I can provide referrals for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) or detox services if needed. I work with you to find accessible, inclusive options that align with your goals and comfort level—whether you're just beginning or continuing your recovery journey.

Grief, trauma, and mental health challenges often play a significant role in substance use and recovery. Talking about these experiences isn’t just okay—it’s essential. It helps us understand what’s beneath the patterns and build support that truly fits your life. While I don’t provide clinical therapy or mental health treatment, I offer a safe, respectful space to explore how these experiences are showing up for you. If at any point it feels supportive or necessary to connect with a licensed therapist, I’ll help guide you toward trusted referrals. My role is to walk alongside you with care, honesty, and a focus on what matters most to you.

I’m certified as a Substance Use Disorder Counselor (SUDCC) through CADTP, California’s recognized certifying body.

I also prioritize accessibility: I offer virtual sessions across California, and I’ve curated region-specific resource lists so clients can find help close to home. Whether you’re just starting to think about change or already in recovery, you deserve support that feels safe, respectful, and real.

You’re welcome to request support at any time—no diagnosis required. I’ll respond with care and work with you to find the format or approach that best fits your needs, including referrals when needed.
