100% virtual telehealth counseling provided! Currently accepting clients who are physically located in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Arizona, or Oregon. (I am unable to see clients residing in Virginia at this time. If you’re located in one of the other states, I welcome the chance to work with you.)

I work with adults who have noticed their use of substances becoming disruptive to their life. They want to change their patterns and habits before other areas are affected. My approach is practical and evidence-based. Understanding that changing habits can be deeply challenging, I provide a safe, straightforward place where sustainable habits can be built, without judgment.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Gilbert

Finding addiction therapists in Gilbert starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, gambling, sex addiction, nicotine use, and related concerns like anxiety, trauma, or relationship stress. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-based care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Gilbert has a range of local counseling options, and virtual appointments can add more flexibility when office location or scheduling limits your choices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer virtual sessions that fit around work, school, or family schedules. When comparing Gilbert counselors, check whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their experience with addiction care, their communication style, and whether they describe a nonjudgmental or harm reduction-informed approach.

Counseling in Gilbert, AZ, can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage and see cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists in Gilbert, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
