RECOVERY VISION

Life has allowed me the opportunity to experience the devastating effects of Substance Use Disorder firsthand. I grew up with a physically and emotionally abusive grandmother who struggled with alcohol and opioids later in life.

 At a very young age, I knew what it was to feel very small and to never be good enough. As a teenager, my Uncle died from a heroin overdose. 

Years later and powerless, I watched as my Brother battled a multi year addiction to crack cocaine.

It was through these life lessons I learned that people do not wake up one day and plan to ruin their life and hurt those around them. Something happened. 

Life happened. 

They did not have the tools and coping skills to deal with the situations they faced in life. 

Good people make poor choices.

I decided to go to college and educate myself on how to help my family and other families and individuals suffering these same issues.

I received a CASAC in 1996. 

(Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor) and worked in the field for a very short time due to injuries from a car accident.

Today, I am healed and committed to working in the field of addiction as a Recovery and Life Style Coach. After suffering many setbacks, I've learned a lot and have gained valuable lessons I'm willing to share with those who are suffering and seeking to get back on life's journey.

There is HOPE!!

Never Give up the Fight! 

A Setback is a Setup for a COMEBACK!!!

RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE!!
