What Can You Expect

I’m writing this part in the first person because if we work together, you’ll be working directly with me. I want you to know exactly what you can expect from me and my coaching, in a way that’s honest and transparent.

I have 19 years in recovery. I live and breathe this work because recovery is the only reason I’m still alive.

I don’t share the next part for shock value, but to give you a real picture of where I’ve been. I was intravenously using large amounts of cocaine and heroin. It nearly killed me. My lifestyle matched that level of addiction—chaotic, dangerous, and heartbreaking, especially toward the end. I truly believed I wouldn’t make it out.

I came from a very supportive home and I know how fortunate that makes me. My family never gave up on me. My mom, in particular, played a huge role in my recovery. She’s the reason I began working with families. I saw how deeply she struggled, and I also saw how her getting help for herself transformed our relationship. That experience made me want to help other families find that kind of healing too.

There’s something I need to be clear about: I cannot guarantee specific outcomes. No one can. What I can say is that your relationship with your loved one will change through this process.

There are painful realities tied to addiction and the lifestyle that goes with it. I can’t erase that. Sometimes, it just hurts and it just isn’t fair. My role is to stand with you in those moments and help you navigate the decisions that come with those realities.

I don’t believe in “beating around the bush.” I’m direct, but always with care and compassion, because we are dealing with matters of life and death. I’m here to help you, and I’m here to help your loved one. I will always put safety first—yours and theirs.

If you choose to work with me, you can expect honesty, steadiness, and someone who truly understands what’s at stake.
