Addiction therapy in Stoneham, MA & telehealth across Massachusetts
Addiction therapy that works.
If you've been trying to cut back or quit something and it keeps pulling you back, you're not alone, and it can change. I help teens and adults with substance use, gambling and other addictive behaviors, along with the anxiety, depression and stress that often come with them.

Care that looks at the whole person.
Addiction rarely has a single cause. I work from the biopsychosocial model, which looks at three parts of your life together.
- BiologicalYour body and brain, including genetics, physical health, sleep and how substances affect you.
- PsychologicalYour thoughts, emotions and mental health, along with stress, trauma and past experiences.
- SocialYour relationships, family, work, community and the environment around you.
We'll look at why you use as well as how much. Together we work through the shame and guilt that keep people stuck, and build practical skills for cravings, urges and the hard moments in between.
I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT skills, Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness with an existential, humanistic view: recovery lasts when your life has meaning and purpose that belong to you. Whether your goal is to quit, cut back or simply understand what's happening, we start where you are.
