What I Offer

Personalized support that meets you where you are

Addiction doesn’t have one face, one cause, or one solution. That’s why I take a deeply individualized approach to recovery support. Together, we’ll look not just at the behaviors you’re trying to change—but at what you’re trying to soothe, suppress, or survive.

My support includes:

Private 1-on-1 sessions focused on healing, rebuilding, and re-centering
Gentle step-guided reflection for those aligned with spiritual recovery
Relapse prevention tools and self-awareness practices
Emotional processing for grief, trauma, guilt, or identity collapse
Botanical wellness insights, grounding rituals, and natural stress support
Life restructuring support; boundaries, routines, and self-trust rebuilding
Virtual or in-person flexibility, honoring your pace and privacy

This work is both practical and deeply spiritual, without judgment, pressure, or shame. Whether you’re exploring a recovery path for the first time or re-establishing one after falling away, you’ll be met with compassion and strength.. not perfectionism.

Who I Work With

Anyone ready to be radically honest, tender with themselves, and committed to change.

You don’t need a diagnosis to reach out. You don’t need to have hit “rock bottom.” You don’t need to explain how or why you use what you use to cope.

If you’re feeling trapped, overwhelmed, or like your life is shrinking around your habits, you belong here.

This space is for:

People struggling with substance use, emotional dependence, or compulsive behaviors
Partners or family members navigating secondary trauma and betrayal
Individuals in aftercare post-rehab or residential treatment
People who resonate with the spiritual nature of recovery, including those working through the 12 steps privately or in community
Those who are curious about recovery but uncertain where to start

Why This Approach Works

A gentle, integrated path toward lasting change

Recovery is more than behavior management—it’s a transformation of identity, relationship, and meaning. My approach blends integrative wellness practices, emotional support, and spiritual frameworks to guide you toward wholeness.

I believe:

Your story deserves to be held with care, not analyzed with a checklist
You are not broken—you’ve adapted to survive
Sobriety without joy is unsustainable
Healing happens in layers, not leaps
Growth requires structure, grace, and surrender

Whether you’re leaning into a 12-step model, reconnecting with your spiritual roots, or forging your own recovery path, I’m here to walk alongside you.

What are the 5 stages of recovery readiness?

Recovery isn’t a single decision—it’s a process. Understanding the five stages of recovery readiness helps people identify where they are and what kind of support they need. Asking this questions makes you somewhere between the contemplation stage and preparation stage. So you are on the right path.

1. Precontemplation
In this stage, the individual is not yet thinking about change. They may deny there’s a problem, justify their behaviors, or feel hopeless. They might be attending therapy or meetings at someone else’s urging, but they haven’t personally committed to recovery. The focus here is planting seeds and gently raising awareness.
2. Contemplation
Here, the person starts to recognize the consequences of their actions and considers change—but they’re still ambivalent. They may wrestle with fear of failure, loss of control, or grief over letting go of a familiar coping mechanism. This is a powerful stage for reflection, education, and connecting with others who have walked the path.
3. Preparation
The individual is preparing to take action. They may seek a recovery coach, attend meetings, reduce use, or research treatment options. This stage is about building a foundation—identifying triggers, planning new routines, and asking for support. It’s also the time to explore values, goals, and motivations for change.
4. Action
This is where significant behavioral change begins. The person may enter detox, rehab, start a program, or begin working closely with a recovery coach. This stage takes energy, courage, and support, as it often involves facing pain, making amends, and establishing new habits. Regular accountability and spiritual or emotional guidance can be vital here.
5. Maintenance
Now the focus is on long-term wellness. Sobriety is no longer new, but staying grounded requires ongoing work. People in this stage often develop strong routines, maintain healthy relationships, and stay involved in service or community. Relapse prevention, boundary setting, and self-care are core themes.
Each stage is part of the journey, and relapse can occur at any point—but it doesn’t mean starting over. A compassionate, stage-based approach allows for progress at your own pace, with room for setbacks and self-forgiveness.

Why are there so many recovery centers in Prescott, Arizona?

Prescott, Arizona, has earned a national reputation as a recovery destination, and for good reason. With its serene high-desert landscape, small-town charm, and strong spiritual undercurrent, Prescott offers a uniquely supportive environment for healing. And in general the Prescott community lovingly embraces those on the path to recovery. For the addict, it is nice to be welcomed and understood by such a caring town.

There are several reasons for the concentration of treatment centers here:
1. Ideal Healing Environment
Prescott’s location in the pine forests of central Arizona provides a peaceful, scenic backdrop for healing. The area’s natural beauty, temperate climate, and walkable downtown make it an attractive place for people seeking to reset and recover.
2. Historic Roots in Recovery
The recovery movement gained momentum in Prescott in the 1980s and 90s, with many early centers flourishing and growing over time. As the industry expanded, professionals moved to the area to open outpatient programs, sober living houses, and holistic support centers. This created a community with deep recovery roots.
3. Strong Support Infrastructure
With dozens of treatment programs and hundreds of alumni staying in the area, Prescott offers a built-in recovery network. Daily meetings, mentorship opportunities, and community events provide structure and connection. Many people find it easier to stay sober in a place where recovery is normalized and encouraged.
4. City Regulations and Real Estate Availability
Prescott’s zoning laws once allowed for the development of numerous sober living homes. Although the city has since tightened regulations to address overcrowding, the city remains a hub for legitimate, licensed treatment centers. Its infrastructure continues to support a high number of quality providers.
5. Word-of-Mouth & Industry Recognition
As Prescott became known for effective recovery options, referrals increased. Today, the area draws clients from across the country—many seeking alternatives to larger metropolitan rehabs. Families often choose Prescott because it feels safer, more personal, and grounded.
While the number of centers has decreased from its peak due to policy changes, Prescott remains one of the most recovery-saturated cities in the U.S. That density means more options, better aftercare, and a sense of belonging for those on the path to healing.
6. Strategic Seperation
Being far enough away from the big cities, addicts find it hard to connect with the wrong crowd. It is also hard to run away from the centers, and run back to their old lives. Prescott is just big enough, yet small enough to love you.

What are the 12 steps of sobriety?

The 12 Steps are a spiritual and moral framework designed to help individuals recover from addiction and transform their lives. Originally developed by Alcoholics Anonymous, these steps have been adapted by many recovery programs worldwide. Though spiritual in nature, they are not tied to any specific religion, and people from all backgrounds have found healing through their principles.
Here is a summarized version of the 12 Steps:

1- Admit powerlessness over addiction and that life has become unmanageable.
2 – Believe in a Power greater than ourselves that can restore us to sanity.
3- Decide to turn our will and lives over to the care of that Power.
4- Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5- Admit to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6- Become entirely ready to have our defects of character removed.
7- Humbly ask for those shortcomings to be removed.
8- Make a list of all persons we harmed and become willing to make amends.
9- Make direct amends wherever possible, except when doing so would cause harm.
10- Continue personal inventory and promptly admit when we are wrong.
11- Seek connection through prayer and meditation, asking for knowledge of God’s will.
12- Carry the message to others in recovery, and practice these principles in all our affairs.

The power of the 12 Steps lies in their simplicity and depth. They guide people from shame and self-centeredness to humility, responsibility, and service. Even those who are not religious often find the steps help them uncover truth, accept themselves, and rebuild trust with others.
It’s important to know that working the 12 Steps isn’t a checklist—it’s a lifelong process of growth and spiritual development. Many recovery coaches, sponsors, and faith-based counselors support clients through the steps in safe, honest, and supportive environments.

What How many alcoholics die each year?

Alcohol-related deaths are one of the leading preventable causes of death in the United States. The numbers are staggering—and deeply saddening.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 140,000 people die each year from excessive alcohol use in the United States. That averages out to more than 380 deaths per day.
Here’s a breakdown of what those numbers represent:
About 97,000 deaths are among men, and 43,000 among women.
Nearly 1 in 5 deaths among adults aged 20 to 49 is attributed to excessive alcohol use.
Causes include alcohol poisoning, liver disease, cancer, heart disease, impaired driving accidents, and violence (such as suicide or homicide where alcohol is a factor).
1 in 10 working-age adults (ages 20–64) dies from excessive drinking.
It’s worth noting that not all alcohol-related deaths come from “alcoholism” in the clinical sense. Binge drinking, heavy episodic use, and long-term liver stress can impact individuals who don’t necessarily identify as addicted. Still, alcohol use disorder plays a major role in a significant portion of these deaths.
Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 3 million deaths each year result from harmful alcohol use—accounting for 5.3% of all deaths worldwide.
These statistics emphasize that alcohol addiction is not just a private issue—it’s a public health crisis. But they also highlight the urgency and importance of early intervention, community support, and accessible treatment.
The good news? Recovery is real. Millions of people around the world live free of alcohol today, and new paths to healing are always opening. Whether you’re at risk or already struggling, you’re not alone—and help is available.

What types of addictions does a change coach like yourself work with?

A recovery or change coach works with individuals across a wide spectrum of addictions—not just substances, but behaviors and thought patterns that have become destructive or compulsive. Unlike clinical therapists, coaches focus on present-moment transformation, behavioral change, and accountability. They work alongside you to help build a recovery lifestyle that aligns with your goals and values.
Common addictions a coach may support include:
Alcohol: One of the most socially normalized but dangerous substances, alcohol use can gradually erode mental, physical, and relational well-being. Coaches help with habit change, boundary-setting, and emotional sobriety.
Drugs: From prescription medication misuse to recreational substances, coaches support individuals seeking recovery from dependency on opioids, stimulants, marijuana, benzodiazepines, and more.
Pornography & Sex Addiction: These compulsions are often rooted in shame, secrecy, and emotional pain. A coach provides non-judgmental support for those who feel trapped in destructive cycles.
Gambling: The adrenaline rush of gambling can hijack the brain’s reward system. Recovery coaching helps identify triggers, reduce risk behaviors, and rebuild trust.
Food & Body: Disordered eating, bingeing, restriction, and compulsive exercise may be addressed with holistic support that values emotional and physical healing.
Technology: Screen addiction, gaming, social media compulsivity, and constant dopamine-seeking can fracture focus and relationships. Coaches support tech detox and lifestyle redesign.
Codependency: Though not always labeled an addiction, codependent patterns can become obsessive and self-erasing. Coaching can support boundaries, individuation, and emotional resilience.
Coaches often partner with other professionals—therapists, doctors, spiritual guides—to offer comprehensive care. You don’t have to “qualify” for support. If a behavior is interfering with your life, a recovery coach can help you explore the next right step.

“I have worked with all of these addictions. The details of your story may be different—but you are not alone, and you are not unique.”
There’s comfort in realizing that your pain, while deeply personal, is not unfamiliar. I have walked this path too. And others have walked through the fire and found healing. You don’t have to be the first. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. The way forward has already been carved—and it begins with connection, honesty, and surrender.
