Great to meet you!

100% virtual telehealth counseling provided! Currently accepting clients who are physically located in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Arizona, or Oregon. (I am unable to see clients residing in Virginia at this time. If you’re located in one of these states, I welcome the chance to work with you.)

I work with adults who have noticed their use of substances becoming disruptive to their life. They want to change their patterns and habits before other areas are affected. My approach is practical and evidence-based. Understanding that changing habits can be deeply challenging, I provide a safe, straightforward place where sustainable habits can be built, without judgment.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored entirely to your unique goals. I believe in meeting you where you are and respecting your readiness for change, rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all plan.

To support you, I draw from a variety of evidence-based frameworks, including:

  • Harm Reduction: Focusing on safety, realistic changes, and practical strategies that fit your life.
  • Motivational Interviewing: Helping you explore your mixed feelings about change and connecting to your own internal motivators.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and shifting the underlying thoughts and patterns driving your habits.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helping you drop the struggle with difficult emotions and take action toward what truly matters to you.

I strongly believe that seeking support early can help address concerns before they become more disruptive. My goal is to help you build healthier, more sustainable patterns before problems become severe - in a completely nonjudgmental, straightforward space.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a relaxed, low-pressure conversation. We will talk about what has been going on, what you have already tried, and what you want your life to look like moving forward.

During this meeting, we will:

  • Assess the big picture: Look at your current patterns without shame or finger-pointing.
  • Evaluate compatibility: Decide together whether we are a good fit for your long-term goals.
  • Build a realistic plan: Create an actionable, achievable plan that respects your readiness for change.

There are no rigid lectures or forced timelines here - just a straightforward collaboration toward healthier patterns that fit your actual life.
