Intervention

It is incredibly painful to watch a loved one struggling with alcoholism, drug problems, an eating disorder or other destructive behavior. Figuring out how to confront the issue can be tough and addicts are often in denial and resistive to conversations about their problem. Increasingly, families are opting for an intervention approach. An intervention is a professionally directed face-to-face meeting of family members, friends and/or colleagues with the person suffering from addiction. During the intervention, the addict’s loved ones present the consequences of addiction and ask him or her to accept treatment. An intervention can be conducted without an intervention professional, but consulting an addiction specialist, such as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor, a social worker, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or an interventionist, can help you organize a more effective intervention.

I take an integrative approach to interventions, which may include mindfulness practices, stress management techniques, and lifestyle changes, alongside more traditional therapeutic methods. Whether we are addressing trauma, caregiver burnout, or mood disorders, I believe in combining therapeutic insight with practical, real-world strategies that empower you to make lasting changes.

As a licensed educational psychologist I provide intervention for a variety of different behavioral and social challenges. For example, I support children with Autism in being able to communicate their wants and needs in a functional way. I also support children with anxiety and depression in building a good emotional vocabulary and finding appropriate coping skills to best support them in times of distress. I also work with students with ADHD on organization and executive functioning skills.

My two main areas of intervention strategies include Crisis Intervention and Abuse Intervention. I have provided crisis intervention strategies for over 25 years in the work I have done with survivors of sexual abuse/assault, and interpersonal violence (domestic and dating violence). The goal of this practice is to support individuals in reclaiming personal power. My experience with Abuse Intervention is centered on the perpetrator of domestic violence to reduce/prevent further violence.
