Certified Recovery Coach providing evidence-based, peer-driven support for addiction recovery and treatment journeys.

Message

I’m a Certified Peer Specialist-Addictive Diseases and Recovery Coach who supports clients with evidence-based, compassionate care rooted in lived experience. I facilitate psychoeducation, experiential recovery skills, recreational activities, and equine assisted interventions, while submitting all relevant documentation to EMR.

I also coordinate day-to-day client needs from admission to discharge and build rapport as a resource to the treatment team. Beyond my ongoing Recovery Coach role, I helped create the Transitional Living Coordinator program, earned CARES/CPS-AD certification, completed my AS in Psychology Suma Cum Laude, and continue working toward a BIS degree with a plan for graduate study in a related field.
