Hiring a therapeutic consultant will benefit you and your family in the long run. I am not affiliated with any program or college, so my support is objective. Mental health and addiction treatment, and higher education, are all equally expensive. Having someone who can help navigate that system is an investment in your loved one’s mental health, recovery, and education. I am flexible in the levels of support I can provide, based on the needs of each family.

Understand the Story + Create a Plan + Coordinate all Support

I research therapeutic and wellness resources, recommend treatment or therapeutic gap programs, and assist during adulthood transitions. Regardless of the level of support you are looking for, I hope I can help. It is that simple. Educate me on what’s going on. I can consult to ensure I’m providing your family with the most accurate and appropriate resources or program recommendations. When you want me there along side you, I follow along with your progress to ensure there are no significant concerns. I want your young adult to be stable, sober, and/or re-launching back into adult life!
