Edmund Smith, SUDP

Executive Director

Over the last few years of my career as a Drug Court Coordinator I recognized the need for improved access to Residential Substance Use Disorder Treatment in Snohomish County, assembled an amazing group of Board Members who supported this vision and was fortunate enough to connect with a local business owner / contractor who made it all become a reality.  As Executive Director, I’m so grateful to see HRC fulfill it’s mission of compassionately serving those in need by giving them the tools they’ll need to build new lives in Recovery!  When I’m not working at HRC, I enjoy spending time with my wife & daughter and taking photographs around the Pacific Northwest.

Kozi Colberg, RN

Nursing Consultant

A considerable amount of my nursing background includes medical, surgical, emergency and mental health experience.  Beginning in 2012 I chose to direct my career towards fighting the opioid crises eventually becoming certified in the field of addiction medicine.  My passion is working with likeminded professionals developing new strategies to treat and support those afflicted with this disease while providing ongoing education to help reduce its associated stigma.  My work life balance is supported by my husband and our large family including my golden retriever.  For stress relief and enjoyment, I quad skate, take nature walks, and ride motorcycles. The garden snail reminds me of my motto which is to “slow down and cherish life’s moments” because every day is a gift that has an uncertain ending.  I’m very excited to be part of the Holman’s Recovery Center team!

Sophie Haines, CPC, AAC

For the last 17 years I have worked with clients in the interior design and lighting design industry. While it has been amazing, I felt it was time to move on to something new, something that is rewarding in a different way. I have struggled in my own addiction and know what its like to be a part of the recovery journey. While the recovery journey is different for everyone, I have been able to find faith, hope, and strength in my own process. I am so excited to be a part of Holman recovery Center. I am eager to instill the hope I have graciously received in our clients, with the ability to come alongside them where they are at. Without judgement, but with acceptance and compassion. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my beautiful family.
