About Me:

I’m a 45-year-old woman who has faced many challenges in life, but I’ve never given up. Over two years ago, I overcame a long battle with drug addiction, and I’ve been clean ever since. I’ve survived domestic violence, a brutal dog attack that left me with life-threatening injuries, and a car accident that caused a collapsed lung. I’ve also experienced the deep pain of losing loved ones, including the death of my daughter’s father, and struggled with major depressive disorder and suicidal thoughts. Despite everything I’ve been through, I’m here today, and I believe my experiences have given me the strength and understanding to help others facing similar challenges.

I’ve always had a love for psychology, even reading the DSM for leisure when I was younger. However, I never pursued it professionally because I was busy raising my children. Now, I’m ready to turn my passion into a career. Helping others through their struggles is my dream job, and I have a fire inside of me that drives my desire to make a difference. My goal is to offer support to those who are suffering, especially during the toughest times, so they don’t feel alone.

I have a non-judgmental, empathetic nature that has always made people feel comfortable opening up to me, and I’ve had this gift since childhood. It’s a privilege to be that person others can lean on, and I want to use my experiences and gifts to create a career helping people navigate their own challenges. My aim is to be the kind of person who makes others feel heard, supported, and understood, just like someone once did for me when I was at my lowest point.
