Are you facing a life transition, mental health challenge, or addiction struggle that feels overwhelming to navigate on your own?

You're not alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LICSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I specialize in helping individuals find stability, clarity, and hope during some of life's most difficult moments. Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, major life changes, or the challenges of co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns, I provide a supportive space where healing and growth can begin.

For more than 12 years, I've worked across mental health, addiction treatment, crisis intervention, medical settings, and community-based care. I've supported individuals and families through recovery, psychiatric crises, cognitive decline, and significant life transitions. These experiences have taught me that resilience exists even in the hardest circumstances—and that meaningful change is possible.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and nonjudgmental. Very little surprises me, and nothing is too complex to discuss. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and create a path forward that feels achievable and authentic to you.

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 Portland, OR

Finding addiction therapists in Portland starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, compulsive behaviors, and recovery maintenance. As you compare therapists, look for training that matches what you want to work on, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, relapse prevention, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Portland has many addiction counselors across neighborhoods like Northwest Portland, Southeast Portland, and the Pearl District, which can make it useful to narrow your search by format, schedule, and approach. In-person sessions may fit well if you prefer a local office near work, home, or transit. Virtual sessions can expand access when schedule, commute, or provider availability matters. Read therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their work with addiction, whether they mention harm reduction or recovery experience, and whether their communication style feels like a fit.

Therapy in Portland can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process simpler by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, offering upfront cost estimates after insurance verification, and letting you book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to compare addiction therapists in Portland by specialty, availability, location, and insurance fit.

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
