As the adult child of an alcoholic and growing up in the public eye of Boston politics my family placed a premium on confidentiality and privacy.  It can be hard for families to confront mental health and substance abuse challenges while trying to project to the world that things are perfect.  Trying to balance these two contradictory ideas can be confusing for adults and children alike.  After graduating form Harvard College and Boston College for my MBA I had a successful career in management consulting and finance.  However, I found myself living a double life as a businessman and an alcoholic.  For ten years I saw the things I loved the most slip away from me until I had no more options but to listen to professionals in the substance abuse field.

I have dedicated the last 17 years of my professional life to helping individuals and family’s recovery from substance abuse disorders and mental health challenges.  I have walked in your shoes if you suffer from these life threating disorders.  I have also continued my own learning process and stayed up to date on the latest treatment modalities and treatment programs around the country.

The best chance for desired outcomes for most families starts with a realistic plan and personalized 1-1 care.   Making the best decisions early in the process can also substantially shave years of the road to recovering.
