About My Clients
My specialty is substance misuse and compulsive sexual behaviors, but my clients also struggle with a variety of related concerns such as symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and ADHD. These conditions often interact and underpin their compulsive behaviors. My clients may have one substance they struggle with, or many, and we work to develop a treatment plan based on the relationship they want to have with these substances, which might involve moderation and/or abstinence.
My Background and Approach
I view the first session as a jumping off point towards figuring out if we are a good fit, and determining if, and how, I can best help you. I will ask you some information about what led you to seek treatment at this time and get more details on topics such as your family and your work. I value being authentic with my clients. It’s important to me that you are able to sense that what I’m saying is truly how I feel. Humor also frequently appears in my sessions. The work in therapy can be challenging, but I believe it’s also important to be able to laugh with my clients, too. I hold a doctoral degree from the clinical Psy.D. program at William James College, a Master’s of Education degree in Human Sexuality from Widener University, as well as a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Northeastern University. I have received training and supervision from specialists in addiction treatment.
