I approach recovery through a unique dual lens: as a seasoned business owner and a board-certified professional. I understand the "hustle culture" that can fuel burnout and relapse, and I use that lived experience to help high performers and families find a sustainable path to stability.
Professional Credentials & Authority
My work is grounded in clinical standards and state-recognized certifications to ensure the highest level of care and ethical advocacy:
- Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC): Credentialed by the North Carolina Addictions Specialist Professional Practice Board (NCASPPB).
- Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPSS): Issued by the NC Department of Health and Human Services and administered by the UNC School of Social Work.
My Approach: Clarity Over Pressure
I work with individuals and families who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of what comes next. I understand how isolating addiction can be — not just for the person struggling, but for everyone who loves them.
Everything I do is focused on:
- Navigating Recovery Options: Making sense of a complex system to find the right fit for your specific needs.
- Setting Healthy Boundaries: Rebuilding family dynamics without shame or judgment.
- Long-Term Stability: Moving past the initial crisis into a life of purpose and entrepreneurial drive.
If you are looking for support that is honest, practical, and rooted in deep professional understanding rather than pressure, you are in the right place.
