Hello and Welcome. My name is Danna.
I created EnableHope.net as a platform that I hope will bring accurate and useful knowledge, hope and support to people struggling with problematic substance use and their families and loved ones. Here, I hope to explore issues of interest to affected persons, such as:
evolving research on substance use disorder
harm reduction & overdose prevention
evidence-based treatments
medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD/MAT)
best practices for overcoming stigma
trauma, as related to substance use disorder
drug policy reform
criminal justice reform
About Me

I am a registered nurse with 28 years of experience spanning numerous specialty areas including mental health, substance use disorder, corrections, labor and delivery and neonatal intensive care.
I am also a writer, with personal essays and journalistic work appearing in numerous publications including Woman's Day and AlterNet. My writing has recently been published in the book Healing Mind, Body, & Soul: Recovering from the Trauma of Addiction
Contact me below to discuss how I can assist you with your health content writing needs. I am available for journalistic and health content writing opportunities.
When I am not writing, you can find me enjoying the gorgeous coastline of the Pacific Northwest and hanging out with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Nugget and my hilarious and occasionally murderous Calico, Buttercup.
