About Me

Family Intervention Now
Addiction Interventions – Recovery Solutions

My experience with interventions began in the early 1980’s participating in crises interventions in the healthcare field.

I am a Board Registered Interventionist through the Association of Intervention Specialist Credentialing Board (AISCB), a Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Recovery Specialist II (Certified Addiction Specialist-CAS II), a Nationally Certified Addiction Counselor (NCAC) and a Registered Nurse.  I am trained and experienced in the Johnson, Systemic, and Arise model’s of intervention and I am also a Certified Arise Interventionist (CAI).

I am a member of the California Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors (CAADAC), the National Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC), the Network of Independent Interventionists (NII) and The Association of Arise Interventionists (AAI). In addition I serve on the boards of NII and PALM (Problems of Addiction in Labor and Management)

I have worked in state licensed inpatient addiction treatment centers and detoxification facilities as a nurse, counselor, program developer, educator and director of admissions. My experience and knowledge of the intervention, treatment and recovery process has given me the resources and skill needed to implement comprehensive, effective recovery plans for addicts and their families.
