Start Your Rebuild

A Strategic Partner for Professionals

As a legal, clinical, or union professional, your success is measured by your client's sustainable change.

But promises are not proof.

We provide a structured, evidence-based coaching framework to bridge the gap between your appointments. Our process transforms your client's rehabilitation efforts into the verifiable evidence you need to advocate and supervise effectively, and the tangible life skills they need to build a future that lasts.


From Lived Experience to a Proven Path

I am not a theoretical coach. My methodology was forged in the crucible of lived experience—navigating addiction, the justice system, and high-stakes career loss. This means I understand the path because I've walked it myself, and I offer a real, non-judgmental partnership for the journey.

But empathy alone isn't enough. That "why" is balanced by a rigorous "how": ICF-accredited coach training, leadership in the recovery community, and a documented, successful framework for personal and professional rehabilitation.

Whether you are an individual ready to build your future, or a professional seeking a credible partner, this is where the story meets the strategy.

  • You can, but "lone wolfing it" is the slow road. Think of it this way: No athlete goes to the Olympics without a coach. No CEO runs a Fortune 500 without a board of advisors. They know that trying to see your own blind spots is impossible. We’ve been taught that "doing it alone" is a badge of honor. It isn't; it's an inefficiency. I provide the objective feedback, the strategy, and the "extra edge" that you simply cannot generate in isolation. You bring the hard work; I provide the roadmap to make sure that work actually pays off.

  • Because structure beats willpower every time. Left to our own devices, most of us hit a snag and stall out. We get stuck in our own heads. Coaching provides a structure of support that keeps you moving when motivation fades. We move fast because we cut out the trial-and-error. I help you quickly identify the roadblocks you can't see and give you the tools to bust through them. It’s not magic; it’s the result of having an objective partner who holds you accountable to your own potential.

  • Because "success on paper" doesn't always match how you feel inside. Many of my clients have the job, the money, and the title, but they are still stuck. Maybe they are burned out, unfulfilled, or realizing that their career doesn't align with who they actually are. High-performers hire coaches because they refuse to settle for "good enough." They want to find work that aligns with their core values, not just their bills. Whether you are tolerating a situation that drains you or looking for the next level of performance, coaching bridges the gap between where you are and where you could be.

  • We start with your goals, but we solve them by upgrading your mindset. We focus wherever you want to see results—career, sobriety, relationships. But here is the reality: To change your business, you often have to change yourself. Don't be surprised if we do deep personal work to solve a professional problem. We use a dual-track approach: fixing the external strategies (what you do) while rebuilding the internal framework (who you are). This ensures the results you get are sustainable, not just a temporary fix.
