Hi! I’m Donna, and I understand exactly what you’re going through.

How addiction affects the family

"Addiction is a family disease." It affects parents and family members in countless ways, extending far beyond the individual struggling with a substance use disorder. The impact ripples through the entire family unit, causing pain, betrayal, and heartache.

When you’ve been hurt, lied to, and stolen from enough, you reach a breaking point. You know it's time to make positive changes and reclaim your life. As a mother who has walked this path, I offer private support sessions to guide and empower parents and family members. Together, we’ll navigate the challenges and develop better coping skills to remove your fear-based thinking and restore your hope.
