Who I Work WithMy clients are high-responsibility professionals - people like attorneys, physicians, educators, and team leaders - who have recognized that their relationship with alcohol is costing them something. Not their job. Not yet. But they can see where this goes, and they can't ask for help through the usual channels without creating the very problem they're trying to avoid.
They are functional, accomplished, and completely alone with this.What I DoI work with them privately, one on one, through a structured program called The Velocity Protocol. It begins with a 60-day Clarity Phase - getting sober, understanding what's actually happening neurologically, and building the foundation for what comes next. From there we move into Direction and Momentum phases that address the broader picture: who they are, what they're built for, and how to sustain the gains long term.
No group settings. No institutional involvement. No records that go anywhere they don't want them to go.Why Confidentiality Is the Whole ModelThe visible recovery system wasn't built for people whose careers and reputations cannot absorb public disclosure. My practice was. There are no insurance claims, no employer notifications, no medical records created through our work together. What happens between me and a client stays there.
This isn't a feature. It's the only reason the right person reaches out at all.My BackgroundMy background is thirty years in the same spaces my clients are in. I went through this myself - including the withdrawal. My approach is grounded in neuroscience and lived experience, not a clinical manual. I understand the lane I'm in and I don't work outside it.How to Make a ReferralIf you encounter someone who fits this description, the simplest introduction is this: tell them to text me at 515.992.9669.
