Hello!

I know firsthand how challenging it is to live life on life’s terms without drugs and alcohol, having been in recovery for over 12 years. I became a substance abuse counselor because I wanted others to experience how transformative and rewarding recovery can be. I am also a survivor of domestic violence, and I’ve navigated the legal consequences of addiction for much of my adult life. While I was fortunate to have people in recovery walk alongside me, I also had to learn how to find resources, resolve legal issues, and live on a disability income without support from my family. For me, becoming empowered wasn’t just a skill—it was a necessity. Now, my goal is to help others discover that same sense of empowerment, if and when they choose.
