Recovery doesn’t come with a playbook. And the streets don’t teach you how to heal. Therapy isn’t always accessible — or even trusted. That’s why I created Recovery Rules: a space where lived experience meets real, evidence-based tools. No sugarcoating. No pity. Just strategies that actually work.

I’m a therapist with a PhD — but I didn’t learn healing in a lecture hall. I learned it inside the system, doing time and doing the work. Prison became my mental health laboratory. It’s where I studied, practiced, and witnessed the raw truth of what real recovery looks like — from the inside out.

Whether you’re facing addiction, depression, trauma, or co-occurring mental health struggles — you’re not alone. I’ve walked that path. I still walk it. And I’m here to share what I’ve learned — not from theory, but from survival, study, and service.
