My Intervention Process
Proven, compassionate, and inclusive.
My Intervention process is transparent. No ambush, no conspiracy, no secrets. This kind of intervention is non-punitive and is designed to support and inspire the individual’s recovery. Several days before the intervention, the person of concern is informed; if they decide not to participate, the intervention will proceed without them. The moment the message is delivered, the intervention begins. The family and friends are meeting to share their love and concern for them, create new boundaries and ways of interacting based on honesty, mutual respect, and compassion for all concerned.
Prior to the intervention event, I’ll meet with family and friends for an assessment to develop a deeper understanding of the individual and the dynamics involved. Together, we’ll explore the intervention process, discuss logistics, consider treatment options, and aftercare to support their successful recovery.
More often than not, those invited to their intervention show up. Sometimes, to defend themselves, minimize their condition, or even attack those who have assembled to express their love and concern. Deep down, they know they need help and are ready to take steps to change their lives.
Occasionally, they do not show up even though accommodations have been made for them to participate; regardless, the intervention continues without them. Being in a relationship with someone with an addiction or mental illness can be very difficult, stressful, and emotionally draining. We’ll explore and create new agreements for interaction to support the well-being of the person of concern, and, just as importantly, the physical and emotional well-being of the family and friends assembled.

It all starts with an initial meeting—an assessment where you get to tell your story. Next, we will explore your challenges, successes, and “perceived” failures. You will learn how your failures are the foundation for your success.
It will be essential for us to review your recovery experience and discuss recovery modalities and technologies. This will help us understand the underlying issues and allow for possible medical, psychiatric, cognitive therapy, pain management referrals. We may also discuss the power of recovery community – sober living environments - family of origin work – awareness practice –and most importantly, the keys to creating and maintaining an engaging, robust recovery.
My coaching process is straightforward. I meet my clients where they are at the moment. Together with my clients, we create a tailored plan of action. If you’re willing to do the work, great transformation is possible. All it takes is an open mind and a willingness to be guided.
