My focus is working with people that care about someone struggling with an addiction. I am a veteran of 15 years in the corporate world  in television advertising world.  I hold a Masters degrees specialized in Addiction Counseling, am a Board Registered Interventionist Level-II as well as an Internationally Certified Drug, Alcohol and Addictions Counselor. Highly trained and educated in the addiction field, I am also in recovery myself with over a decade of sobriety after 16 years of chronic relapsing.  I am dedicated to facilitating interventions because it works. Help is not only for the person struggling with the addiction, but for all those who care about someone that deserve healing. I bring understanding, compassion and first hand experience around addiction and recovery from it.

Style of Intervention

I am focused on intervention work and have been trained in all models of intervention. My style is a  blend the best elements of the models of  intervention based upon the unique situation of all those I work with:

• The ARISE Intervention Model involves family members in a collaborative intervention process that reduces guilt and blame and allows the family, interventionist, and dependent person to stay focused on helping the addict get into treatment.
• The JOHNSON Intervention Model raises the bottom for an addict, by compassionately confronting the addict with the consequences of their addiction. The bottom is raised by precipitating a crisis in the addict’s life that is not threatening, damaging, or fatal and compels them into treatment.
• The SYSTEMIC Intervention Model as an alternative to traditional confrontational intervention models because family, friends, and colleagues form a team to work with the dependent person and address the issues in a loving and respectful manner. It is a successful system precisely because the focus is on patient, but firm, coaching instead of negative confrontation.
