That’s the shortest version of my story. The longer version has all the things you’d expect — the wreckage, the reckoning, the slow and nonlinear work of finding my way back to myself. I won’t walk you through every detail here. But I want you to know that I’m not writing from the outside looking in.
I’ve been where you are.
Early in my recovery, the only question was how do I get through this?
Then one day, without really noticing it had happened, the question changed. I’d gotten through it. I was still standing. And I had absolutely no idea who I was or what came next.
That’s the moment nobody prepares you for. The meetings, the steps, the hard early work — all of it is built around getting you to solid ground. But once you’re there, there’s this quieter, stranger question waiting:
Now what?
I spent years working through that question. And eventually I became a certified recovery coach because I wanted to be the person for others that I wished I’d had — someone who takes that question seriously and helps you actually answer it.
I believe addiction recovery is one of the hardest things a person can do. And I believe the work of building a life worth living in recovery is just as important — and far less supported.
That gap is where I work.
Everyone who comes to coaching brings their whole self — their history, their values, their questions about what comes next. That’s exactly what we work with. Not just the recovery, but the life you’re rebuilding around it.
You may already have a sponsor, a therapist, a home group. Recovery coaching isn’t a replacement for any of that — it’s the conversation about what you’re building with your recovery. The goals, the identity, the life.
When we work together, there’s no curriculum to follow, no system to buy into. It’s a real conversation — honest, focused, built around you.
I’ll ask the questions that help you think more clearly. I’ll push when pushing is useful. I’ll slow down when that’s what’s needed. And I’ll always be straight with you, because that’s what I’d want from someone sitting across from me.
I’m not your therapist. I’m not your sponsor. I’m not your guru.
I’m a certified recovery coach who’s walked through it — and who believes you’re worth the investment of taking what comes next seriously.
The first step is a free discovery call — no pressure, no pitch. Just an honest conversation about where you are and where you’re trying to go.
