I live in Portland, Oregon in the US. I work with family members and partners over the phone with my coaching business. I also work with family members and partners of people with bipolar disorder in person here in Oregon.
My goal is to help those in crisis learn more about the illness and how they can help the person they love. I remember when my partner Ivan was in the hospital for three months in a bipolar manic psychotic episode and I had no one to talk to. There was so much I didn’t know and I lived in constant fear. I thought to myself- When we get through this- I’m going to write a book- and I did. Now I’m glad I can now work one on one with those in the same place I was all of those years ago.
If you have a loved on newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder and in the hospital, a teen who needs a plan so that you all can manage the illness together or a partner you’re scared of losing, please look over my coaching plans. I want everyone to have the information and education needed to help a person with bipolar disorder find true stability. But most of all, I want family members and partners to get the help they need as well!

hi.
just found you’re blog.
that sucks, no support network. i know i’m very luck. i have some great support in my town, and i remember (mostly) a major bipolar episode a couple of years ago. mixed mania, cycling pretty fast.
was scary. don’t know what i’d do without friends and family.
wow, that sucks.
no support–i don’t know if i could do it.
i remember a couple of years ago: went through a major mixed mania episode.
it sucked, but i’ve got some really good friends and family near me. it made all the difference.
I’m dealing with my husband and business partner who is bi-polar. We are having such a tough time keeping employees because he is so critical and negative. He keeps rationalizing, but this constant revolving door of employees is wearing both of us out. How can I help him see that he needs to be more encouraging and less micro-managing of these folks? He is at the business fll time, I am part time since I hold down a full time job. He has had a rough go at keeping a full time job, and is now “tired” of this dream business he had to have. I’m exhausted, physically and emotionally.
