Since entering the field in 2012, Jared has built a reputation for combining compassionate, client-centered care with strategic leadership, operational expertise, and a commitment to improving treatment outcomes. Jared’s professional experience spans the full continuum of behavioral healthcare, including long-term therapeutic communities, medical detoxification, residential treatment, and outpatient programming across the country. His diverse background has provided him with a comprehensive understanding of both the clinical and operational components necessary to build successful, sustainable treatment programs.
As an ARISE Interventionist Intern and Substance Abuse Counselor Trainer, Jared brings extensive experience in crisis intervention, clinical assessments, motivational interviewing, family recovery, and addiction education.

What truly distinguishes Jared is the personal journey that inspired his professional calling. Having experienced his own struggles with addiction and humble beginnings, Jared understands firsthand the challenges, uncertainty, and courage involved in rebuilding a life. Rather than allowing his past to define his limitations, he has transformed those experiences into a driving force behind his purpose: creating opportunities for others to find hope, healing, and a new direction. Jared graduated with high honors from Nova High School in South Florida, where he served as class president, before continuing his education at The University of Michigan. His early leadership experiences helped establish the foundation for a career defined by perseverance, service, and a commitment to making a meaningful impact.
Today, Jared resides in New Jersey with his wife, their two children, and two dogs. Outside of his professional responsibilities, he values the importance of family, personal growth, and maintaining the balance that supports a fulfilling life in recovery. For Jared, behavioral healthcare is more than a profession—it is a personal mission. His work is grounded in the belief that every individual deserves an opportunity to change their story, every family deserves hope, and every treatment organization has the responsibility to create an environment where lasting transformation can begin.
