Meet Our Staff

My recovery journey began in 2019 when I discovered the power of peer support and became a Certified Peer Recovery Supporter. Having lived with mental health challenges for much of my life, I was already working toward managing my mental health, but learning about peer support helped me truly understand the possibilities of recovery.

Through this journey, I discovered a deep passion for connecting people to resources and ensuring individuals have access to the support and services they need. I believe that when people are equipped with the right tools, guidance, and encouragement, they can navigate their mental health and recovery with confidence and hope.

Over the past several years, I have not only continued to grow in my own recovery but have also dedicated my work to helping others do the same. I am passionate about bridging gaps in services, reducing stigma, and walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and discover the freedom that recovery can bring.

I spent seventeen years in addiction carrying a version of myself that wasn’t who I truly was. I lived in survival mode, guarded, disconnected, and convinced I didn’t matter. Everything changed when I finally walked away from the people and places that kept me stuck. I went to treatment two hours from home, chose myself for the first time, and rebuilt my life piece by piece. Recovery didn’t just make me sober — it made me whole. I found confidence, compassion, boundaries, and a purpose bigger than my past. I learned how to stand tall, speak honestly, and live with clarity instead of chaos. Now I work in the recovery field because I’m meant to help people. Anyone fighting their way back to themselves. Anyone rebuilding. Anyone rising. I know what it feels like to be broken, and I know what it feels like to rise — and my mission is to walk beside people as they discover their strength and rebuild their lives. My past shaped me, but it doesn’t define me. What defines me is the life I’ve built — and the lives I’m helping others rebuild.
