Hello, I'm a Massachusetts licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC1), specializing in individual counseling in an outpatient private practice. It takes a lot of courage and strength to seek support! I fully understand the struggles of addiction and how to obtain a fulfilling life without the use of substances or addiction. I can also support with completion of Substance Abuse Evaluations and RMV Recidivism risk letters.
I have been working in the field of addiction for over a decade, have a masters degree in forensic psychology, and also in active recovery myself! I can support with harm reduction model to complete abstinence. I will support you with an individual, client-centered, treatment plan to help with your short-term and long-term goals.
I believe that addiction is a chronic treatable medical condition. My approach acknowledges the biological, psychological, environmental, and spiritual dimensions of the disease and recovery process. I believe in progress, not perfection.
