About Carl
I am a state-registered and board-certified Peer Recovery Specialist Supervisor (CPRS-S, RPRS, FSP) and certified life coach based in Virginia with over 9 years of frontline experience in addiction recovery and community mental health. Beyond my credentials, I bring genuine lived experience navigating substance use recovery, life transitions, and rebuilding sustainable family stability. My approach is grounded, practical, and compassionate—focusing on meeting people exactly where they are, identifying personal strengths, and walking alongside peers as they build lasting recovery capital.
My Recovery Story
Recovery has transformed every aspect of my life. Today, I enjoy sustained sobriety, a grounded family life with my partner and children, and purposeful work serving my community. Recovery has given me the tools to navigate life on life's terms—handling stress with emotional regulation, maintaining healthy boundaries, and showing up with consistency and integrity for the people I care about. My quality of life today is built on gratitude, self-respect, and daily accountability.
My Motivation To Help
My motivation comes directly from knowing what it feels like to navigate hopelessness, rebuild from the ground up, and find purpose on the other side. Having people walk beside me with patience, empathy, and practical accountability made all the difference in my journey. Supporting others in discovering their own resilience, navigating complex systems, and realizing that long-term recovery and personal fulfillment are possible is the most meaningful work I do.
