I am a Certified Peer Support Specialist with personal lived experience in recovery and a deep passion for helping others embrace a healthier lifestyle. My journey with addiction began early, as I struggled with substance use through my teens and early twenties, including methamphetamine. At 23, I made the decision to leave behind hard drugs and take steps toward a better future. Becoming a mother in 2017 was a turning point, inspiring me to prioritize healing and growth. Through perseverance, I overcame the challenges of an unhealthy relationship, self-esteem struggles, and addiction, finding strength in seeking support and creating a new path. Today, I draw on these experiences to guide others in their recovery and provide compassionate support as both a mom and relationship advisor.
