FAQs

Support Group

  • No, you never have to share more than you’re comfortable with. Many people simply come to listen at first, and that’s completely okay.

  • Yes! There is no cost to attend. I believe support should be accessible to everyone, and cost should never be a barrier.

  • The group is for anyone who has a loved one struggling with substance use. You don’t have to be a parent — spouses, siblings, and friends are welcome too.

  • We use the Invitation to Change and CRAFT approaches — evidence-based, compassionate tools that give families practical strategies. It’s about building healthier communication, boundaries, and connection using proven to work tools and approaches.

Family Clarity Sessions

  • A Clarity Session is a one-time, 3-hour intensive where we dive deep into your situation and create a personalized plan. Ongoing coaching is long-term support with regular calls and check-ins.

  • If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or in need of immediate direction but aren’t ready to commit to ongoing coaching, this is perfect. It gives you breakthrough guidance and a clear action plan to take forward.

  • Both are effective, it really depends on your preference and location. Many people find Zoom sessions just as impactful because they can join from the comfort of home.

  • You’ll receive a personalized plan and we’ll schedule one follow-up call to check in, answer questions, and adjust as needed. If you’d like more support, you can always transition into ongoing coaching.

1:1 Family Recovery Coaching

  • Group support gives you community and shared experiences, while 1:1 coaching is personalized just for you. It’s a safe, private space where we focus on your unique needs and challenges.

  • We’ll connect twice a week for coaching calls, and in between, you’ll have access to me via Voxer (a voice and text messaging app). This gives you ongoing support whenever you need it most.

  • Calls are flexible and scheduled around your life. And since sessions are online, you can join from anywhere, even during a lunch break or quiet moment in your day.

  • It depends on your needs. Some clients work with me for a few months until they feel confident, while others choose longer-term support as they continue navigating new challenges.
