Watching someone you love battle with alcohol use disorder, alcoholism, drug addiction or mental health concerns is a painful and emotionally-draining experience. However, family members and friends are the most likely to encourage meaningful change. But knowing how to approach a loved one who is experiencing addiction, drug or alcohol dependency, or a mental health crisis can feel like an impossible challenge. I specialize in helping you overcome this challenge. Through Invitational Interventions and Family Coaching & Consulting services, my team and I work closely with you to help troubleshoot your loved ones’ destructive patterns and guide them and the entire family system toward long-term recovery.
