I enjoy working with people who are struggling with substance use, whether they are just beginning to question their use and habits or they have experienced chronic relapse and feel hopeless. I believe part of that process is ensuring they are informed of options available and helping them discover their “why.” I have experience supporting people in identifying their strengths, finding coping skills, and creating measurable, attainable goals. I am skilled at navigating treatment systems/levels of care in Massachusetts. I have experience with medical detoxification protocols and can discuss options for medication-supported treatment. View 7 Photos One of my skills is listening to a complicated situation and working alongside the client to help untangle it. I do not shy away from self-harm or thoughts of suicide because these are all common themes on the journey to healing and recovery. I encourage honesty and candid conversations because shame loses power when stories are told in safe spaces. I hope to have the privilege of providing a safe space for you to feel comfortable during a time of vulnerability.
