As a husband, father of 2 school-aged children, and person in long-term recovery, I understand that balancing family life while facing mental health and substance use challenges can feel overwhelming for everyone involved. I help individuals and families understand how these issues affect their relationships, identify patterns that fuel stress, and build healthier ways to communicate and support one another. Together, we create realistic goals that strengthen connection, restore hope, and promote long‑term well‑being.
I bring 16 years of experience supporting adults with co‑occurring mental health and substance use disorders. I provide compassionate, person‑centered care—whether someone pursues abstinence, harm reduction, or both—helping them build stability, recovery skills, and a healthier life.
If you're struggling with substance use or mental health challenges, you’re not alone. I offer compassionate, judgment‑free support and would be honored to walk with you in recovery. Please reach out—I'm here to listen and help you take the next step.
