Social Researcher & Policy Analyst

Founder, You Made a Way & Choice Recovery Movement

Systems fail not because people lack motivation, but when institutional practices diverge from evidence, autonomy, and lived reality.

I analyze where policies, programs, and institutional practices produce predictable harm—and support the redesign of those systems to align with evidence, autonomy, and intended outcomes.

My Approach

Evidence-Aligned

Grounded in empirical research, statutory intent, and implementation science—not tradition or opinion.

Autonomy-Centered

Designed to reduce coercion and compliance-based models in favor of informed choice and durable engagement.

Stigma-Aware

Attentive to how bias, labeling, and shame distort outcomes across recovery, legal, and family systems. 

Engagement Pathways

Organizations & Systems

Policy analysis, program review, and practice redesign.

Speaking & Training

Professional education on evidence-based, autonomy-centered institutional practice.

Individuals

Structured, evidence-informed recovery guidance.

No selling. No emotion. Just routing.
