Alan is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, 12-Step Recovery Advocate, and the founder of Breaking The Cycle Therapy. With over a decade of experience, he specializes in helping individuals and families impacted by alcoholism and addiction navigate the pain, confusion, and growth that come with recovery.
Alan’s own journey began in Southern California, where he learned early—and the hard way—what it means to face consequences and start over. After getting arrested in high school, Alan made the decision to pursue peace, accountability, and personal growth. That path eventually led to the 12-step recovery community, where he found lasting healing.
Today, Alan hosts the Breaking The Cycle Radio podcast, a platform dedicated to honest conversations about recovery, family systems, and emotional wellness. The podcast is taken on the road—bringing it live to conferences, symposiums, and community events to amplify the voices of those doing the work to heal and grow.
Whether in the therapy room or behind the mic, Alan’s mission is the same: to help people find strength, hope, and the courage to break toxic cycles—one conversation at a time.
