I am one of the few psychologists in the Boston area that has extensive training
and experience working with parents, family members, spouses or partners of a
loved one with substance use problems. It can be a frustrating, isolating, and
frightening experience to love someone who is struggling with addiction and who
may not be open or ready to make changes in their life and their use.

The coaching I offer enables families to:

• gain a better understanding of addiction/problematic use
  
• take steps to get your loved one into treatment if needed
• feel equipped to better respond to conflict and express concerns about their use
• help you take care of yourself during this challenging time

I use the CRAFT model (the Community Reinforcement and Family Training) as the
foundation to guide my work to help family members effectively support their
loved one to help them make positive, healthy changes in their use and their
life.
