Hi, I’m Chris.

Former Problem Gambler. 6 Years in Recovery. Certified Coach.

I didn’t learn recovery from a textbook. I learned it by living through the chaos, the debt, and the shame. And also what is possible once we decide to change.

But I didn’t find the way out on my own. For years, I told myself I was in control. That it wasn’t that bad. “Everyone has their vices, right?” That I could quit anytime I wanted. Eventually, the evidence became too compelling to ignore. The illusion of being in control, or quitting whenever I chose, shattered.

Once I finally swallowed my pride and admitted that I couldn’t do it alone, I took the first small steps toward breaking free.

Everything changed when I started working with someone who didn’t see me as “broken.” They didn’t see me as someone needing fixing, or with a disease that needed curing. Instead, they saw someone competent, capable, and full of potential.
And above all else, they listened. Not with judgement, not so they could give advice, or tell me what to do-they simply created a space to let me process my thoughts. 

I felt truly seen, heard, and understood.It was a life changing experience. 

Often, we need someone who believes in us and our capacity for change.

Now, I do the same for others. Because I believe you can build the life you want. It’s just a question of how.

You don’t have to fit into a box to work with me.

• You might be here because, like me, your life has become unmanageable and you want to stop completely.
• You might want to regain control over your time and money without quitting entirely.
• Or maybe you aren’t sure what you want yet.

That is okay. No matter your goals, coaching helps you get there.

Recovery isn’t a rigid program you have to follow. It is far more than just abstinence; it’s a life you get to build. There is no “right way” to do this. There is only your way.

Okay Chris, but what exactly is Recovery Coaching? What would we be working on together? Glad you asked. Below is a brief summary.
