My path has included navigating mental health recovery, substance abuse challenges, being a caregiver, and grief. I’ve faced the challenge of feeling like I wasn’t made for this world and like I will never find joy. I have come face to face with being a caregiver for years, losing that role, and having to find myself again.
Through that process, I have discovered what I need to live my best life and how to be my authentic self. This journey is what allows me to provide a judgement free environment for my peers.
I have been to the lowest depths of myself and will help to lift you out of yours. Together we will build up that spark to shed light on your strengths.

My Approach to Peer Support
I believe that support is building others up through trust and compassion. To support you, I will make sure you feel heard, understood, and a true sense of partnership. We will work together to find your true path to achieving your goals.
I utilize my life experience to assist others by proving that recovery is possible. Hope is a tangible thing when you can see someone else rise from a similar situation. I have lived through many common struggles as well as unique challenges. Through mutual support and understanding, you will see that you are never alone.
I view mental health recovery as a lifelong process. You must choose yourself every single day. Some days you may be able to give 100% and others you may only be able to give yourself 50%, even 20%—that’s where I come in. I will help keep you on track and to not lose sight of your unique and personal goals.
Our time together will involve hard but incredibly rewarding work. We will discuss personal goals, learn your strengths and how to utilize them, find a sense of community, and develop personalized strategies to support yourself. I can also teach basic life skills such as cooking and organization.
