I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, addiction and recovery, and life transitions. I also work with individuals living with disabilities, chronic illness, dual diagnoses, and those adjusting to major life changes—whether that’s an empty nest, a new diagnosis, or the weight of uncertainty. I’ve supported individuals moving through cancer treatment and understand the emotional toll health challenges can bring.My role is to be a steady support system—someone who listens deeply, sits with you without judgment, and helps you build coping tools that make everyday life feel lighter and more manageable.

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.
