My ideal client is someone who’s ready to break free from addiction and take control of their life. They may be dealing with legal issues, broken relationships, or health problems—and they recognize that substance use is a major factor. They’re looking for structure, accountability, and a safe space to be honest without judgment. Their goals include achieving sobriety, restoring stability, and building a better future. They’re motivated to change and are seeking real support to help them stay on track and succeed long term.
With over 10 years of experience in substance use treatment, I’ve worked in jails, prisons, drug courts, homeless shelters, and community programs. I currently oversee two outpatient programs. These experiences have shaped a compassionate, real-world approach to helping clients achieve lasting recovery.
I know reaching out for help isn’t easy—but you don’t have to face this alone. Whether you're just starting your recovery or getting back on track, I’m here to support you without judgment. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m ready to walk with you. Let’s begin the work together.
