He began his counseling career in 2023 and currently serves as a residential counselor, providing day-to-day support, structure, and encouragement to clients navigating the challenges of addiction and early recovery.

He considers it a privilege to walk alongside clients in this process and is committed to meeting each person where they are, with respect, empathy, and unwavering support. Recovery is not one-size-fits-all—and you don’t have to walk it alone.
