Substance Use Therapists in Costa Mesa, CA

Are you ready to improve your life? Do you want to improve your relationship? If the answer is yes, it's time for therapy. I am a USC trained former attorney and have over a decade experience counseling individuals and couples. I also instructed a Master's level course on the treatment of substance abuse at Chapman University. I offer a FREE 15 minute phone consultation. Let's get started!

I am fully engaged in recovery work because i believe in the meaningful and important mission of helping people find their way back to a life before addiction or find the kind of fulfillment they need to achieve sobriety.

Perhaps you are brand new to therapy, or returning for continued growth. Maybe you are looking for a therapist that relates to the LGBTQ+ identities/experiences you have, and how those may affect other areas of your life. You're looking for a space to be authentic and explore complex parts of who you are in a safe, affirming space. You might be experiencing anxiety, depression, confusion, or other barriers to your well-being. My priority is inviting you to share who you are so we can create positive outcomes. I combine evidence-based practices with real-world application, placing your experiences at the forefront of therapy.

When working with clients, I believe the therapeutic alliance is key. I view each client as a unique individual whom should be treated with empathy and compassion. Together we will work to unpack underlying feelings and core beliefs. I enjoy helping clients make sense of their experiences. I believe our childhood experiences can impact our adulthood. When needed, I will provide psychoeducation as well as suggest behavioral modification. I will help you replace unhealthy behaviors and provide alternative options.

As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience, I provide compassionate, relationally-focused therapy for individuals, couples, and families of diverse backgrounds and ages. I have experience treating depression and anxiety concerns, family conflict, and relationship concerns. I also have training in trauma and addiction recovery, and specialize in treating individuals struggling from childhood abuse, recent traumas, compulsive sexual behaviors, and substance-related disorders.

Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from others, like you are daydreaming or walking through fog. Stressors can become too overwhelming to deal with, even seemingly simple task can feel too much. I can provide you with the opportunity to identify and challenge difficult thoughts and emotions, while creating new ways to effectively cope with stressors. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment that allows space for self-expression and self-discovery while revisiting the past. Together, we can face the challenges of the past and find new a new way forward.

I have worked in various aspects of the counseling field for over 30 years and I consider it an honor to have done so. My clients have come from various circumstances, with a variety of different issues and problems facing them. I like to use the therapy approach that seems to best fit the particular client, with respect and consideration for their individual differences.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes we can feel inadequate in dealing with life struggles that come our way. Sometimes we feel like we've tried everything, but for some reason we still feel stuck despite our best efforts. Although there are times in our lives when we feel great, there are also times in our lives when we feel hopeless, anxious, depressed, or even lost. Sometimes, we can pinpoint why we feel this way, and other times, these feelings seem to just come upon us for no apparent reason. Both can make life incredibly difficult.

Passionate about making every client feel understood and accepted. I use a multifaceted approach which allows me to serve each of my clients in the most beneficial way for them. I specialize in working with grief, trauma, anxiety, blended families, self-worth, family dynamics, and children. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children.

Have you ever felt that you wanted to go to therapy but you were afraid of the process? I get it! Therapy can feel scary and overwhelming, especially if you've never been before. When meeting with clients, it's my overall goal to make my clients feel seen, heard and comfortable, taking the pressure out of therapy. As a therapist, I understand what it's like to go on this journey and I'm passionate about joining others in their personal growth while providing empathy, insight, education and mindfulness to those I meet with.

At VCATTRC we provide neurocognitive and brain based treatment methodologies for substance abuse and psychological disorders. We believe that there is a strong correlation between a healthy brain and a person’s mental, behavioral, and cognitive functioning. Mental behavioral disorders such as anxiety, depression, and addiction, have been linked to serious behavioral and cognitive dysfunctions in adults with long history of addictive behavior. Thus, treating such disorders and related co-occurring disorders is in need of a proper and specialized multidimensional assessment, evaluation, and neurocognitive treatment plan.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

As a therapist, I know that sometimes, you may just need someone to listen and walk through a difficult season in life with you. You may find yourself in need of a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings about dating, a significant relationship or a life transition. You may be coping with pain in ways that are self-destructive, or feeling "stuck", sad, and/or overwhelmed by worry. I offer understanding and caring, compassionate feedback. My goal is to help you tap into your own inner wisdom, so that you can heal, grow, and thrive- ultimately living a more fulfilling life.
