I am a growing believer in Christ, a proud mom, and a woman in long-term recovery from a substance use disorder and complex PTSD. Today, I use my lived experience to bring hope to others on their own healing journeys. I am a state-certified Peer Support Specialist and serve on the Ministry TEAM for Celebrate Recovery, where I am honored to walk alongside others seeking freedom and restoration.

I have been trained as a community doula and am working toward certification as a Peer Support Community Doula. I currently serve as a Peer Support Supervisor at the Lexington Courage Center and as an Adolescent Coach, supporting young people with compassion and understanding.

My heart is for serving others—meeting them exactly where they are, offering support, education, and encouragement. I choose to “recover out loud” so others never have to suffer in silence.
