Summary

I’m a passionate and committed RADT with a deep personal understanding of addiction and recovery. After 30 years of battling addiction myself, my purpose in life is now to help others find a way out. I bring real-life experience, strong people skills, and the ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life. I'm continuing my education in drug and alcohol counseling and love working in group settings where I can offer support, hope, and honesty. I'm driven, down-to-earth, and excited to be part of the solution—helping others recover, rebuild, and rediscover their lives.
