Unleash Your Success
Have you ever wondered what getting sober your way would look like, but have no idea where to start? Do you feel like something needs to change, but you give up when it gets too hard?
Alcohol used to work. It used to be enough to help get you through the day, forget about your problems, relax and make life easier. Somewhere along the way it became a problem, and despite all your efforts you are still struggling to fix it.
Or maybe you are in a relapse cycle that you can’t seem to get yourself out of. Some things have worked, but something is missing and you can’t seem to figure it out.
Do you want to take back control over your life?
Client Reviews
I’m 27 months sober, tried AA and other programs to stay stopped but nothing clicked, I felt like I’d done an awful lot of growing and then abruptly stopped. I was drifting, rudderless. I was struggling to find the point, the joy.
Working with Steve has been a really transformative experience. His empathetic approach and first-hand knowledge of recovery has created a really safe space for exploration and growth. Through our sessions I have gained invaluable insights specifically relating to finding and understanding my core values and emotional needs; with the goal to live an authentic life and build better coping mechanisms.
Having tried and struggled to grow alone, he’s reaffirmed that connection beats addiction; as such Steve is also providing me with a guided approach to the brilliant book ‘Journaling your way to Authenticity’, offering additional insightful questioning and perspective on my journaling, which facilitates a deeper introspection, rather than me meandering through this process alone. He has enabled me to focus on areas I hadn’t considered before and provided much needed validation and affirmation of my values. The curated resources provided by Steve have also been invaluable and it’s tailor-made counselling specific to my journey.
Hi, I’m Steve!
I want to help YOU create the life you are looking for free from alcohol. We are going to tailor a recovery program based on your current situation and break that down into simple, actionable items that work for you.

This is all about you and your success in recovery!
Here is a little it about me
My story isn’t big, it isn’t flashy. A factory production manager/supervisor, father of 2, nice house in the country, new vehicles, the perfect life right?
Or maybe not.
Everything looked ok on the outside, I hadn’t lost anything outwardly significant, except I was drinking my life away. Over the course of a decade I went from having a collection of eclectic beer bottles, a hobby of drinking microbrews and making homebrew to drinking a bottle of whiskey, vodka or rum 5 to 6 days a week. Drinking and driving became normal, drinking in the morning became normal, feeling like crap was normal.
None of that is normal but all of that is how insidious drinking is. Somewhere in there I went from drinking for fun to needing a one for every occasion, even the made up ones. It never stopped at one.
I was going through the motions, keeping my secrets protected by the next drink and the next lie.
Until the lie became too heavy to carry.
I know there are others out there just like me. Functioning drinkers who can perform at a high level, still excel at work and show up for your family.
If this is you, then I’ll bet you haven’t actually shown up for yourself, maybe in what feels like a really long time. Or maybe you haven’t put words to it yet.
One thing is for certain, your drinking is at a point where you know you have to do something different.
Make sure you read all of this next part, it’s how I got to where I’m at now. It’s what I did and it’s partly conventional and partly trial and error.
I started out going to AA in March of 2021 because that is all I knew existed (put copy of my first email to them here). I didn’t even know what AA was all about but the name is Alcoholics Anonymous and I had to quit drinking alcohol. I made a plan to go to 4 meetings a week on zoom so I could still put my kids to bed at night. I tried to do the things they told me to do like read the big book, get a sponsor, go to meetings, pray.
I don’t pray, it’s not a thing I do, not a thing I started doing either. It was a part of the program I struggled with. The repetition, and reciting lines felt like I was in church. I had a hard time separating God from religion and a higher power. It sounded and felt almost hokey, but at the beginning it was hard to have a voice for myself. I called my sponsor every Monday to Friday on my way home from work cause I was so terrified to drink. I was also on the I AM SOBER app where I found a different group, found a meeting that wasn’t based on a program but sharing life and our struggles. I instantly connected to this and got involved right away hosting a meeting. I grew so much with this group and also found the connection I was looking for but couldn’t put words too. You know that empty feeling you have when you are in a room filled with people you know. Yeah, that went away. It was like I started finding people that really got me. I started reading Rewired by Eric Spiegelman and working through the book. I also connected with it more as well. I started talking about my problems more, started figuring out what I needed to do to change them and my perspective. I started to change little things, started standing up for myself, stopped saying yes to everyone and learned the value of no.
3 plus years later I’m working to share my passion for recovery and what I’ve learned with clients to help them see the other side of alcohol. I became a certified recovery coach, done countless hours of research and self reflection to put the best package of tools together to help you find out what works for you. To help you find the reason why you drink so you can experience the same freedom from alcohol myself and my clients have.
