Recovery Companion & Intervention Coordinator Confidential Support for Families
Free initial consultation and referrals
My role is coordination, coaching, and support — not diagnosis or clinical treatment. I work within a network of licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, and treatment centres, and refer to clinical care whenever a situation calls for it.
"I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul."
