About David
I am no stranger to adversity. I have lived through substance abuse and more than two decades of severe chronic pain. Today, I have been free from drug and alcohol abuse for 17 years. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the challenges people face when trying to change their lives.
There was a time when I lost my mobility and became largely confined to a couch or bed. In 2017, I began rebuilding my life, developing healthy routines, sleep hygiene, exercise habits, and long-term recovery strategies. Through persistence and education, I regained my independence and pursued higher education.
I am currently a third-year Addictions Counseling student, a Certified Recovery Coach, and a trained SMART Recovery Facilitator. I facilitate recovery meetings and provide psychoeducation using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), relapse prevention strategies, and other recovery tools.
I also completed a Personal Support Worker certification and clinical placement, expanding my understanding of supporting people through physical and emotional challenges.
While I am not a licensed therapist, I offer recovery coaching, guidance, accountability, education, and practical tools to help individuals build healthier lives. My goal is to meet people where they are, treat them with dignity and respect, and help them discover that meaningful change is possible.
