Intervention, Case Management, Recovery Coaching and Whole-Person Support for Individuals and Families
Compassionate, experienced guidance for individuals and families navigating addiction, mental health challenges, treatment and recovery in mind, body, and spirit.
When addiction or mental health challenges affect an individual, they rarely affect that person alone. Families can find themselves overwhelmed, frightened, angry, confused, or unsure of what to do next. And the person struggling may feel equally lost—unsure how to ask for help, find the right treatment, or begin building a different life.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
Whole Families Intervention & Services provides personalized intervention, case management, recovery coaching, family support, and life coaching for individuals and families navigating addiction, mental health challenges, treatment, early recovery, and well-being.
Whether you are concerned about someone you love, considering an intervention, looking for help finding appropriate treatment, seeking support for yourself in early recovery, or at a crossroads in your life and could use help taking the next right step, I can help you find a way forward.
You May Be Here Because You Don't Know What to Do Next
Perhaps you've been living with someone's addiction for months or years. Perhaps a loved one's mental health has become a source of fear, conflict or uncertainty. Maybe you've already been through treatment and are wondering, what happens now?
Or perhaps you're simply struggling with what next step to take, whether it's in a relationship, your work, your health. You know something needs to change—but you don't know where to begin.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
My role is to meet you where you are, understand what is happening, and help you determine what kind of support makes sense for you or your family.
There is no single path to healing and wholeness. Where you begin depends on what is happening in your life or in your family. My role is to help you understand where you are, determine what kind of support you need, and walk with you through the next step.
A Continuum of Support
When you don't know what to do
Consultation & Assessment
We begin by understanding what is happening and what you, your loved one, or your family needs. Sometimes the first step is simply having an experienced professional help you make sense of the situation.
When change requires a more direct approach
InterventionWhen addiction or mental health concerns have reached a point where the usual approaches are no longer working, a professionally guided intervention can help families address the situation and create a pathway toward treatment and change.
Finding the right path forward
Treatment Support & Case ManagementNavigating treatment can be overwhelming. As part of the intervention planning process, I help individuals and families identify appropriate treatment resources and prepare for the practical steps involved if their loved one accepts help. I can also provide ongoing case management and support as they move into and through care.
Building a foundation in recovery
Recovery CoachingLeaving treatment is not the end of the journey. Recovery coaching provides support as an individual adjusts to life in early recovery, develops healthy routines, navigates challenges and builds the skills and confidence needed to move forward.
Families need recovery too
Family SupportAddiction and mental health challenges affect more than the individual. Family support provides a place to understand what is happening, establish healthy boundaries, improve communication and relationships, and begin creating greater wellbeing for the entire family.
Creating a meaningful life
Life Coaching & Whole-Person SupportRecovery is ultimately about more than staying sober or managing symptoms. It is about developing healthy relationships, purpose, wellbeing, confidence and a life that feels meaningful.
You don't have to enter this process at the beginning, and you don't have to navigate it alone. You may come to me because you need an intervention, because you're looking for treatment, because you've completed treatment and need support in early recovery, or because you're ready to make meaningful changes in your own life. Wherever you are, we can begin right where you are.
You Don’t Have to Know What You Need Before You Reach Out
You may know that something needs to change without knowing exactly what that change should look like. That’s okay. Tell me what’s happening. We can begin with a conversation and determine what kind of support may be appropriate for you or your family. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
