I am a Certified Intervention Professional to facilitate a family intervention to those addicted to drugs and alcohol.
Addiction to alcohol and drugs is destructive to both the individual, and their family and friends. I specialize in treating addiction and the associated feelings of shame, depression, and anxiety. Healing from substance abuse and/or mood imbalance is done by strengthening an individual's mental, physical, and emotional nature, stopping negative cycles, and re-creating an authentic person. I provide interventions and related recovery services for individuals and families. Most therapy is usually accomplished in 3-6 months. I offer a free consultation to determine if my skill-set matches your needs.

This means I have an eclectic theoretical approach that uses a systems framework to assess a variety of points for intervention .
The following questions are common: Why can’t I sleep? Why don’t I feel like myself? Why do I feel numb, depressed, anxious, stressed, and panicky? I cannot deal with my family, friends, or school and work! How do I deal with discrimination, oppression, microaggressions, marginalization, racism at work or school, etc.? The feelings and symptoms you are experiencing may be about your body and mind trying to adjust to difficult and stressful life experiences. These circumstances heavily impact your ability to stay positive and focus on work or school due to feeling. Especially with everything that’s going on in our world right now

Beautiful Being, be not discouraged by your past pain or current tribulation, for you are none other than Love. Be not deceived any longer by the mind’s loveless image of who you are and what you have been given by Love to offer to the world. You have come to begin this healing journey not because you are broken, but because you are ready to see you with your heart. To heal is to see yourself as you truly are – one who is whole. Love is wholeness, and, therefore, you are Love.

Intervention Therapists

How does an intervention work?

An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.

How effective are interventions?

There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.

What are the limitations of interventions?

While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.

Are there alternatives to interventions?

Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
