Recovery & Life Mentor

I’ve lived addiction. I’ve lost everything.
I fought my way back.

More than ten years of addiction. Fentanyl. A marriage gone. I rebuilt my life from nothing — and now I help others do the same. No lectures. No judgment. Just the truth, and someone who has actually walked it.

Limited availability. I work with a small number of people at a time.

Two ways I can help

Wherever you are, there’s a way forward.

Some people come ready to rebuild their whole life. Others are still in the fire — just trying to get themselves or someone they love into treatment. Both belong here.

Path 1 — Mentorship

Rebuild your life with a mentor who’s done it

One-on-one recovery mentorship, accountability, and family guidance — structure and direction for people serious about rebuilding their life.

  • Private recovery sessions & ongoing accountability
  • Family recovery guidance
  • Structure, direction, relapse-prevention
Path 2 — Need Help Now

Just trying to get into detox or treatment?

If you or someone you love needs help finding care, I’ll personally guide you to the right level of treatment. You do not have to pay me for that.

  • Free insurance verification
  • Free detox & treatment placement guidance
  • Personally vetted treatment centers
You’re not the first

If any of this sounds familiar…

  • You’re watching someone you love disappear, and you don’t know how to help
  • You’re exhausted by the same cycle — the promises, the relapses, the fear
  • You’ve tried everything and nothing has worked
  • You’re in recovery, but you have no structure, no direction, no one in your corner
  • You’re scared of what happens if nothing changes

Then you’re exactly where you need to be.

I don’t lecture.

I don’t judge.

I tell the truth.

Most people don’t need another lecture. They need someone who’s been there — someone who can be honest with them and help them take the first step. Recovery is more than sobriety. Real healing starts with honesty.

My story, unfiltered

Before I was a mentor, I was the one who needed one.

My first interview with Soft White Underbelly — addiction, fentanyl, and the long way back.

What I do

How I help people rebuild

Real-world experience, not textbook theory. Structure, accountability, and direction — one honest step at a time.

Recovery Mentorship

One-on-one guidance from someone who lived addiction and rebuilt from nothing. Accountability, mindset, and a real plan — no scripts, no judgment.

Family Recovery Guidance

When someone you love is struggling, the whole family is in it. I help parents, partners, and siblings find footing — how to help without enabling.

Structure & Accountability

Recovery is more than sobriety. We rebuild the day-to-day — routine, direction, relapse-prevention — so life actually holds together.

Detox & Treatment Navigation

Not ready for mentorship but need real help? I personally work as the brand ambassador for multiple detox and treatment centers that have been personally vetted by me. I’ll help guide you to the right level of care at no cost. Get help now →

Need help getting into detox?

If you’re simply trying to get help, you do not have to pay me for that.

Insurance is confusing. Treatment centers all sound the same. Some are only chasing a payout. I’ll cut through it with you — and help you land somewhere I’d send my own family.

Free

Insurance verification

I’ll check what your plan actually covers before you commit to anything.

Free

Treatment guidance

Detox, residential, IOP, outpatient — we find the right level of care together.

Free

Detox placement

I personally place you with centers I’ve vetted — not a directory, not a hotline.

About me

I didn’t study addiction. I survived it.

More than ten years lost to addiction and fentanyl. My marriage, my stability, nearly my life. I came back — and turned it into sober living homes, a detox, and a life spent helping other people find their way out.

You do not have to navigate this alone.

Whether you’re ready to rebuild or just trying to get someone into treatment — let’s figure out the next step together.
