ABOUT ME
I am passionate about helping others find joy in recovery through overall wellness. I have struggled with my own issues around addictive behaviors and have experienced how transformation and growth can bring so much more to life.
I started my recovery career at McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School Affiliate that is ranked #1 in Psychiatry by US News and World Report. From here I moved into having a private practice. I have years of experience coordinating / facilitating groups, providing supportive services to individuals and families, and providing preventative strategies for relapse through the use of Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies.
In addition to my role as a recovery specialist, I am also a mother of three and an avid reader. I enjoy spending family time on the coast of Maine and exploring the beautiful beaches of New England with my camera.
MY process
I believe that individuals get to addiction on their own path and in turn, have the ability to guide their own road to recovery. Because of this, my services are customized to each individual and family I work with.
My hope is to bring individuals and families back to health and vitality through guidance, respect , dignity and love. The power of love is healing and when its energy takes hold, resistance is futile.
