Holly is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor-Intern for our YES program at Rise Recovery. She is a native of San Antonio and the mother of 2 boys and 1 dog.

After years of struggling with addiction, Holly got sick and tired of being sick and tired and decided to fully surrender to the process. Her “clean” date is 1-13-18 and for that she is eternally grateful. Holly began LCDC school in 2019 and is ecstatic to continue her internship here at Rise. She has plans of going back to school for her bachelor’s in social work next. She is very passionate about recovery, helping others overcome their struggles and become victors of their stories. She believes helping others is perhaps the highest aspiration of the human heart!

In her free time, Holly enjoys spending time with family & friends, traveling to new places, baking & music. She is very involved in 12-step Fellowship, her church, her son’s varsity football team and you can always find her capturing memories through lots of photos.
