Addiction Therapists in Atherton, CA
Imagine it’s 3 AM, and you’re lying awake, haunted by an aching emptiness. Your heart pounds, lodged somewhere between your chest and your throat, as you long for someone to offer guidance on your broken heart. The absence of your loved one overwhelms you, filling every room you walk through with a sense of loss and sadness. The pain is consuming, and concentrating on anything feels impossible. Well-meaning friends say things like, “Just give it time,” or “Stay busy, you’ll get past this,” yet their words feel hollow.

My approach is an intersection of wilderness therapy, Daoist philosophy, trauma-informed mindfulness, psychedelia, tea ceremony, dark existential humor, and dozens of research-backed techniques and theory.

I help clients struggling with anxiety, trauma/ PTSD, substance use, and insomnia.
You look like you have it all together, but inside you’re battling anxiety, self-criticism, and the fear of not being enough. The pressure to perform perfectly in your work, relationships, and life is exhausting. You lie awake replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, and wondering why you can’t just “get over it.” Even when things seem fine from the outside, there’s a constant hum of worry, self-doubt, or the weight of past trauma that keeps you feeling stuck, disconnected, and running on empty. I offer in-person therapy in San Diego, CA, and online therapy across California, Indiana, and Ohio.

I am an Existential Therapist with an evidence-based approach. I specialize in helping clients find meaning and purpose when existence seems hopeless or empty. Many people are feeling, not just in their own lives, but throughout the country and world today, a pervasive sense of demoralization, exhaustion or helpless fury. You might be experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety, or even thoughts of suicide. The philosophies of Existentialism and Stoicism, along with the modern practice of cognitive behavioral therapy, offer an ideal approach to identifying a personally meaningful path forward.
