Hi, my name is Jess. I'm 52 years old, I am a mom, a spiritual healer, and an artist. Over the years, I have faced many events that have altered who I am and how I operate. I am a survivor of child abuse & domestic violence, I have dealt with family alcoholism; my youngest child being seriously ill for a long period of time. I have been homeless & rebuilt, and I have lost an adult child to suicide. My youngest is autistic/special needs. Over time I have learned coping strategies, have had -and continue to-have therapy, have gotten helping degrees (human services & entrepreneurship) and certifications (trauma support specialist) in order to help those around me that have suffered in the same ways I have. I hope to help here however I can, wherever I can. If you need to talk to someone who is compassionate, has been there, and can relate, please feel free to select me as your Warmer companion. I am happy to talk about anything that is on your mind.
