Sometimes people stop answering the phone. Sometimes sessions get skipped… and then more sessions get skipped. If that’s where you are right now, take a breath. Re-starting care after disappearing is more common than you might think and it’s...
Sometimes people leave treatment quietly. No dramatic goodbye. No announcement. Just a missed session… then another. Eventually it feels too awkward to return. If that’s you, take a breath. Doors don’t close as quickly as your mind might tell you....
I remember the exact thought: I can’t go back there. Not because treatment was bad. Because it had worked—and I felt like I’d ruined it. But months after my relapse, when things quietly started falling apart again, I realized something...
Relapse can feel like the floor dropping out from under you. You might be thinking: We already did this. We already tried to help. If your young adult has started using again, the pain is real—but it doesn’t mean hope is gone. Many families return...
You still show up. You meet deadlines. Pay bills. Smile at coworkers. From the outside, nothing looks broken. But privately, the math is starting to feel off. That quiet realization — this is taking more from me than I want to admit — is often the...
Sometimes the realization doesn’t arrive dramatically. It shows up in quiet moments after a long night, during a slow morning, or when you catch yourself wondering why something that once felt fun now feels heavy. If you’ve been thinking about...
Sometimes the moment doesn’t look dramatic. No big crisis. No movie-style intervention. Just a quiet realization that things can’t keep going the way they are. If you’ve reached that point, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by...
I didn’t plan to come back. After 90 days sober, I thought I had crossed some invisible finish line. Three months felt like proof that I had finally figured it out. I had routines. I had confidence. I even started believing the voice in my head...
You thought the worst was behind you. Maybe they completed a program. Maybe there were months of stability. Maybe you allowed yourself to believe the crisis chapter had closed. And now you’ve discovered they’re using again. If you’ve found yourself...
Executive Director & Co-Founder
I serve as the Executive Director and Co-Founder of our faith-based rehab company, Freedom Recovery. The passion for my work comes from my strong faith in Jesus. I enjoy spending time with my family. I am married to the love of my life, Carabeth, and we have two wonderful boys, Hudson and Brady, and an amazing daughter, Arrington. One of the biggest sources of inspiration is seeing and helping others overcome the challenges in life, including addiction. I have seen Gods work, as I went through my own struggles with addiction, struggles with restoring my marriage, and the sudden loss of my younger sister, Chelsea. All of these experiences helped push me from the world of corporate finance to helping lead an OMHAS licensed, CARF accredited, and Medicaid approved treatment facility that is faith-based. When I’m not working at Freedom Recovery I enjoy swimming, playing games, working out, serving at my church, and discussing and eating food!
