It's been a privilege to be trusted with people's confidences and genuine concerns, and to help them understand themselves and their options. My Areas of Specialized Experience are: -->(a) People with Drinking/Drug Problems and their Family Members (i.e., Spouses, Parents, and Adult Children); -->(b) People with Depression or disturbing memories, including situations where those issues contribute to problematic alcohol or drug use; -->(c) Lawyers and the stresses they face (having spent half my professional time at the Massachusetts Lawyer Assistance Program for 20+ years, and co-author of the book “The Full Weight of the Law").
Educated at Yale University and Adelphi’s Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies, I have directed programs and held staff positions at hospitals/clinics including Mass General, Newton Wellesley, McLean, Westwood Lodge, and Spofford Hall Outpatient Services. My resume includes 20+ years as Clinical Associate, Harvard Medical School.
I will listen carefully and respectfully and review a range of approaches and potential courses of action in order to develop a therapy plan that suits your needs. Please visit my website for more information (including current availability), or contact me by email or phone.
