Alcohol Use Therapists in Palo Alto, CA
If you're struggling with substances, you deserve support that meets you where you are — whether your goal is abstinence, moderation, or simply understanding your relationship with alcohol or drugs. I specialize in substance use disorders and take a harm reduction approach, while also supporting clients working toward full recovery.
Substance use rarely travels alone. Anxiety, depression, and grief often go hand in hand, and I'm experienced in treating the whole picture rather than just one piece of it. I also support clients navigating trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I bring deep respect for those who are in the process of exploring change in their lives. Often adaptations to circumstances earlier in life have outlived their usefulness. The process of therapy can create an opportunity to examine patterns that no longer benefit the person and open the door to change. This journey can enable one to achieve their goals for a more satisfying life.

At some point in our lives, we all experience setbacks, struggles, or a nagging sense that something is missing. It may come in the form of relationship conflict, failure at work, an unexpected loss or trauma, or some other upset. Though these times are often very painful and can be confusing, they are also important opportunities. During these times, our capacity to face our challenges with an open heart is actually our doorway to the vitality, freedom, and fulfillment we long for.

VIEW revmft.com for my detailed website! Good therapy involves the right match. I also provide a free 30 minute (in person) question and answer session (not counseling). This allows you to understand what your therapy process will look like. If we decide to work together, you will be involved in a very action oriented therapy. Our work will encourage you to practice your new skills during the week. I try to use approaches that you find helpful like: writing in a journal, reading books, support groups, and/or your spiritual practices, that may help while you are in therapy.

You’re not in crisis — you’re under constant pressure. Your mind is always on, your body stays tense, and the stress never fully turns off. You might be getting through work, relationships, and family expectations without falling apart — but inside, it feels like you’re always bracing. You push through, second‑guess yourself, and tell yourself it’s fine… even though you’re exhausted and it never really eases. If this feels familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t need to push through it by yourself. I work with high‑functioning adults who are tired of carrying this kind of pressure all the time.

Being a man today can feel isolating - pressure to succeed, uncertainty about what matters, and no clear place to talk about it. Maybe success at work just isn’t hitting like it used to.
