I am one of hopeless romanticism, of a child like imagination and deep faith. I am supernally made with perfect flaws, supernatural gifts and many talents. I am a woman whose desire is be used by the Creator to do a great work, and to do it well. It is my professional responsibility as a person with mental illness and lived experience to show more compassion, empathy and hope. As a Certified Peer Specialist, I vow to be the example of what living with an affliction looks like on the other side of the system. I offer support, resources, education, clarity, peer-ship, patience and most of all time. If living with a mental illness, a phobia, an obsessive compulsive behavior, post traumatic stress disorder, ADD or ADHD, an anxiety disorder, a personality disorder, a history of drug addiction or domestic abuse or sexual abuse or low self self esteem or confidence didn't kill you, I can show you how to use these things to make you stronger, more powerful and freer than you have ever been.
