Seeking help through an intervention can feel overwhelming, but you are not alone. Substance Use and Alcohol Use Disorders affect entire families—not just the individual—and while confronting a loved one may feel daunting, there is hope. Each intervention is tailored to the individual, considering substance use history, readiness for change, and family dynamics. Our Love First Certified Clinical Interventionist guides families through a thoughtful, multi-day process, providing education on addiction, helping deliver a unified message of love and support, and establishing clear, healthy boundaries. We work closely with loved ones to identify the most appropriate treatment facility and coordinate transport once treatment is accepted. Throughout this process, we emphasize compassionate care, ongoing family support, and the transition toward healthier patterns that support recovery—not the disease.

Alcoholism is a predictable, chronic, progressive disease for which there is no cure. However, there is hope – alcoholism is manageable.
While alcohol abuse may be evident to family and friends, it is not uncommon for alcoholics to live in denial. Many people who abuse alcohol will refuse to admit or even believe that they have a problem with alcohol. Alcoholics often think that they have their drinking under control or that they can stop whenever they want to.
If you are concerned about a loved one’s alcohol consumption but are unsure of how to address the issue, we are here to help. At AR Intervention, we help families and friends start the difficult conversations and confront their loved one’s drinking patterns.
The disease of addiction affects the lives of everyone it touches. Those suffering from addiction will often suffer in silence or live in a state of denial. As a result, loved ones may feel helpless in addressing substance abuse.

When loved one’s set appropriate boundaries, they allow the person suffering to feel the weight of their decisions. We work with loved one’s to confront addiction with compassion and understanding.

As a certified Love First Clinical Interventionist and Psychotherapist, I specialize in assisting individuals grappling with addiction and offering support to their families as they navigate the journey to recovery. My extensive background includes working in various healthcare settings, such as medical detox, residential care, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), and intensive outpatient care (IOP). I approach my work with a focus on leveraging individuals’ strengths and employ evidence-based therapeutic methods, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing.
With more than a decade of dedicated experience in the field of addiction, I prioritize empathy and humor as key elements of my approach. I have undergone intensive training in diverse therapeutic modalities to ensure that each client receives personalized and tailored treatment. I’ve successfully intervened in numerous cases, facilitating the transition of clients to the appropriate level of care suited to their unique needs.
My commitment to the well-being of others is marked by genuine empathy and a profound interest in their welfare, which I combine with a touch of humor. I maintain a present-oriented perspective and adhere to healthy boundaries, recognizing the significance of cultural sensitivity. I draw upon a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, and integrative therapies, to provide comprehensive and holistic care.
Over time we have all developed coping skills which help us deal with everyday problems. Sometimes, we experience a crisis or a series of stressors and our normal resilience, our ability to cope, is overwhelmed. This is a time when we may need professional help. Therapy can help us navigate through difficult times and eventually lead us to richer, more satisfying lives.
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I have had extensive and varied professional experience, working with adults and adolescents from diverse backgrounds. I employ an evidence-based, cognitive behavioral approach, with an emphasis on recognizing and replacing distorted thought patterns. I believe, “We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are.” My years working with clients in the field of mental health has given me confidence that we can change ourselves.
Positive change, though sometimes difficult, is self-reinforcing. Becoming willing to accept challenges, while experiencing some fear in the process, learning to say, “no”, where appropriate, establishing healthy boundaries with others, are empowering and enable us to become more authentic individuals. Becoming more inner-directed in a productive way enhances our self-esteem and enables us to become more adaptive and able to heal and grow in the face of life’s challenges and transitions.
I am experienced with EMDR for addressing PTSD issues.
As a therapist, I am always committed to my client’s potential and well being. I focus on my client’s strengths and core values to collaborate with them to find healing and solutions for their therapeutic needs. Empathy, constructive listening and feedback are combined with theory and holistic evidence-based practices to provide effective clinical support.
Over the course of my career, I have worked with diverse patient populations in various settings. These settings range from working in medically managed intensive inpatient detoxification services, to clinically supervising a 24-bed, 28-day residential treatment program, to outpatient individual therapy.
I am dually licensed and competent in treatment of mental health and substance abuse/addiction issues. The techniques I use depend on what is best suited for you and may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing. I look forward to working with you in session.
