Growing up in western Kentucky during the height of the OxyContin and heroin epidemic, I started using at 13 and was fully addicted to opiates by my early twenties. I got sober in 2015, after my family learned to stop enabling, stop covering for me, and live full lives of their own — with love, boundaries, and clarity. That shift made my recovery possible.

I began working at the treatment center where I got sober, eventually becoming Executive Director. Over 10 years, I’ve coached numerous families and facilitated countless interventions, gaining firsthand insight into how family dynamics can either support recovery or keep addiction in place.

Today, I help families navigate recovery, get educated about addiction, set healthy boundaries, and create environments where lasting change can take root. Through Intervention On Call, I guide families with clarity, compassion, and practical strategies — using the same process that saved my own life.
