I began my career in the addiction field managing a non-profit treatment center in Seattle, Washington, the area I was born and raised. I chose the field due to being a recovering alcoholic that knows what it feels like to be stuck in the depths of addiction and knew that helping others is the path to freedom. I moved to North Carolina in the spring of 2012, became a substance abuse counselor and continued working with those with addiction in recovery housing, IOP programs and residential treatment. I found myself in the business development field and feel like I have found my true calling being able to continue having personal and professional insight as a recovering person and clinician yet getting the opportunity every day to speak with people in need, their families and other’s in the field of addiction that need support to best help those in need.
“Charles and his team were all very supportive and understanding with the situation you are in. They gave clear and concise instructions from the initial evaluation until the completion of the course. Reaching out and making themselves available for any questions or concerns I had even after completing the course. They sent the completed class to the DMV and insured it was accepted and told me as much.
During a very stressful time the folks at New Hope were amazing putting my mind at ease!”
