If your loved one’s substance use has taken over your family, and you’re exhausted from trying everything without seeing change—yet you still refuse to give up—I understand. I grew up in a chaotic household impacted by addiction, depression, and anxiety. But I didn’t give up on my family. Now, I help other families find hope, healing, and practical solutions to reclaim their lives.
With 30 years as a therapist and Family Coach, I help families affected by addiction create actionable plans for positive change. Using my expertise in Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) and lived experience, I guide families in setting healthy boundaries, improving communication, and supporting lasting recovery with proven strategies.
I offer personalized, one-on-one coaching and support, guiding families through addiction recovery with compassion and practical strategies. I help you navigate treatment options, provide advocacy, and offer crisis support when needed. Together, we’ll create a path forward. If you’re ready to make a change and need a trusted guide, I’d love to hear from you!
