Counselor’s Companion
Below are three different worksheets I’ve written to help people learn about treating addiction and conducting interventions. They are representative of techniques and approaches I use in my counseling practice, and I hope they prove beneficial to you or someone you know.
What to say during an Intervention
Firewall for recovery
Talking back to Addiction
Videos
Creative, personal, and interpretive videos I’ve made.
A personal interpretation of principles and practices drawn from the literature of Alcoholics Anonymous set to the music of Van Morrison's epic 'Philosophers Stone'.
Musical interpretation, or dream sequence, of Neil Young's 'Love to Burn'.
Noisy Waters project is a shared effort to honor First Nation and Indigenous Peoples of all unceded ancestral lands north and south of the 49th parallel identified across the Columbia River Basin. This short film portrays the personal journey of Harry Wong, Jr. as he honors his ancestors and prays for his Salmon relatives to return home. Noisy Waters celebrates the power of storytelling and offers a respectful way to address the harm and devastation that came with the building of the Grand Coulee Dam.
