Alcohol and Alcoholism
Have They Taken Over Your Family?

You CAN Help Save Your Loved One
Or, Yourself

WhenI was 27, my mother set up an intervention to show me thatintergenerational alcoholism could be stopped. The lesson here was thatmy father and grandmother died from alcoholism, but I didn't have to.

I know how lonely it is to be in a family whose main function is to stop one person from dying of addiction. And I know that it IS possible to begin again - to heal physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally - when you get the help you need.

Intervention Saved My Life
It Can Save Yours

In addicted families, everyone needs to recover. When each member has a personal path of recovery, the family can redirect attention to the problem instead of to the person.

It doesn't matter what the problem is:

• drugs
• alcohol and alcoholism
• prescription medications
• nicotine
• sex
• gambling
• anger
• eating disorders
• dementia

A skilled professional is key to a successful outcome.

I provide the guidance, clarity, and clear directionthat make it safe for families to finally communicate their deepestlove and fears. I lead them to rediscover the joy of life and health.To their surprise, they learn although recovery is a serious business, we do best when we don't take it too seriously.

My clients love a lot of things about working with me:

• my sense of humor (they say smart and funny is a winning combination)
• the fact that I know what I'm talking about (personal experience counts)
• therelief they feel when they summon the courage to face their situationsand discover hope (practical plans lead to tangible results)

With empathy, I cut through fog and confusion to focus on each person's underlying strength.

Itell the plain truths that need revealing, with compassion and honesty.And I'm there to support you when the going gets tough.

I Work Best with People Who. ..
