I am currently offering sessions via tele-therapy on the Doxy.me platform, a HIPPA compliant, secure portal. Working with clients this way requires me to be more attuned to what is going on in our sessions, be more efficient with my words, do more teaching and coaching along with continuing to be kind. The feedback from clients has been quite positive.
I am also now offering in-person sessions on Saturdays. The address is 10 Langley Road, Suite 401, Newton Centre, MA.
Welcome!

What is Counseling, Psychotherapy, and Coaching?
In general, counseling is recommended for specific issues and situations, such as addiction or grief, and takes place over weeks to several months.
Psychotherapy tends to explore past issues that might be contributing to present day problems. It often takes place continually or intermittently over a period of years.
Coaching is set apart by the way a coach approaches a conversation with a client. Coaches don’t teach, but help you through a process of discovery by using active listening skills, asking powerful questions, expanding thought processes, identifying limited beliefs, designing action steps and following up.
Mental Health and Addictions Counseling
When you and I connect for the first time, my first task will be to build a safe and trusting relationship with you. I also want to hear about what is troubling you and what do you want to accomplish in our work. I use a variety of methods to help my clients identify problems and solutions, Together, we will work towards helping you to understand, manage and reduce painful emotions.

Life is short. You deserve to have peace and happiness in your life. It is important to work with a psychotherapist who is experienced, has integrity and is compassionate. Since 1995 I have committed my professional life to helping people become more successful and empowered. I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts since 2004, a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor since 2003 and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Massachusetts since 2008.
