Biography: PLEASE NOTE: I ONLY OFFER VIDEO SESSIONS AT THIS TIME I am a dually licensed Clinician in Massachusetts. I hold both the LMHC and LADC1 licenses. For over 8 years my professional work focused primarily on helping clients with opioid addiction and being on MAT/MOUD. I have also worked with men incarcerated by the DOC. As a result, my therapy style varies from the standard method to counseling. While I am warm and interactive, I am assertive and direct. While I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, I do not believe in coddling people. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. As a Clinician, I need to have a foundation set by the client so I can understand why you have come to seek help. I believe that your past is something that happened to you. I do not believe that your past defines who you are in the present or who you can be in the future. I will listen then paraphrase back what I have heard so we can both be sure that I understand you and your needs. My ability to help you relies on your ability to effectively communicate with me. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and communication issues all secondary to their addiction(s). I also have helped people who have experienced trauma and abuse. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic, psychodynamic, solution-focused therapy and rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT). I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I assign homework which can be challenging for some clients. I do not pretend to have expertise in all areas. I do not shy away from issues I have limited exposure to. That being said, if we attempt to work together and I am not skilled enough to help with your particular concern(s), we can discuss how to get you the help you need. Additionally, as therapy progresses and you change and grow, you may find that you need someone new who may be able to bring a different challenge or approach. That is a wonderful position to be in and again, we can discuss how to help you get your needs met. The therapeutic relationship takes time to build. Everyone needs to be patient with the process. Your issues didn't happen overnight, nor will they be fixed overnight. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to offer support. I look forward to working with you!
