Addictions Counselor in Bellingham, MA

About My Clients

As a client I want you to feel welcomed ... I also know that relationships take time. ... I will never judge you ... I will talk to you about what you want from therapy. ... I also will not feel a certain, way if, you as the client can not connect with me, as a therapist; I will refer out to another therapist if it is requested. This is about you and how comfortable you are. This is not about me as a therapist.

My Background and Approach

My approach emphasizes the mutual development of goals for therapy and provides ongoing evaluation of the therapeutic approach. Services can include individual & group therapy. I will be patient and understand that this process takes time. We are speaking about your lives and significant events; we will work together to build trust.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Some people may not like my beliefs; however, that is ok. We all don't need to think the same. I am an ally for the LGBTQ21+ community; I have numerous family members and friends who are a part of the community. I do not judge anyone or their situation. I have a very mixed family from every ethnicity and nationality. I believe in treating everyone with respect.
