I offer addiction support that comes from a place of real experience and deep understanding. I’ve lived through addiction myself, spent time incarcerated because of it, and had to rebuild my entire life from the ground up after hitting rock bottom. I’ve been clean for over 10 years now, and I know firsthand how hard the road to recovery can be — the pain, the setbacks, and the incredible strength it takes to rise again. My support is rooted in compassion, honesty, and zero judgment — because I’ve truly been there too. Whether you’re taking your first step toward change or working to stay strong in your recovery, I’m here to listen, guide, and remind you that no matter how far you’ve fallen, it’s never too late to rebuild and find peace again. I’ve been where you are and know recovery is possible.

I'm a small-town Colorado librarian, single mom, and suicide loss survivor who's navigated my own share of toxic relationships and narcissistic abuse. I have C-PTSD, and part of that comes from abuse dynamics that took me way too long to recognize and even longer to escape. I know what it's like to question your own reality. To wonder if you're the crazy one. To feel like you're losing your mind while everyone else thinks your abuser is charming. To finally leave and then struggle with the guilt, the trauma bonds, the fear of being "too damaged" now. I'm not a therapist. I'm someone who's been through it, done the work, and come out the other side still standing. I know the difference between what helps and what's just more gaslighting disguised as self-help. If you're recovering from narcissistic abuse - whether you just left, left years ago, or are still trying to figure out if what you experienced was "bad enough" - I'm here for the real talk without the toxic positivity.

Hey there, My name is Hollie and I'm a recovering addict. Let me tell you it's truly not an easy road to go down, and if I told you that I didn't still struggle every single day, that would be a lie. I faced addiction after becoming a widow and I didn't want to sleep because of the nightmares. So I started using meth. I wound up married to a dealer, learned a lot of hard lessons the hard way. I'm familiar with navigating the court system, the jail system. I tell you all this so you know that I am THE LAST person to judge you, no matter your past. But I also do know that if I can recover, you can recover and life is so much better on the other side of using. Please book a session with me today, I'd love to talk to you about your cravings, relapsing, mental health. All of it.

I’m a single mom that has learned through my experiences that I matter, I deserve happiness, and pouring into myself is necessary to thrive. I have suffered unimaginable loss, dealt with enormous obstacles, and managed to learn how to keep going.

I was 25 when I started using heroin and cocaine. After losing my husband, I was drowning in grief and didn’t know how else to cope. Even when I went to a methadone clinic, I kept using. I was arrested at 30, and detoxed in a prison cell. It was painful, physically and emotionally, and I didn’t feel ready to be sober. But over time, something shifted. I started taking classes and slowly began to see my life differently. Other women asked how I was staying clean, and I realized helping them helped me too. Since then, I’ve led recovery groups and supported people through some of the hardest moments in early sobriety. I’ve helped someone detox while pregnant and in an unsafe relationship, and I’ve walked alongside others who thought they couldn’t do it. I know what it’s like to feel lost and beyond saving. I also know that healing is possible. If you’re stuck in that place, I’m here to talk with you through it.

Born schizophrenic and bipolar in 1985, as a child I guided ghosts through unfinished business and peacefully mediated extraterrestrial disputes for interstellar healing. Why was I born this way? Only God knows for sure but I've learned to love with it! 🫶🏼 Schizoæffection is the process of melding broken worlds and renewing hope in the Eternal, connecting disparate ideas for better futures (also known as Schizoaffective Disorder;) 😻 I overcome Schizoaffective Disorder through deep listening, intentional peer support, Advanced Care Planning and eco-therapy. 🙏🏼 Let's turn madness into magic 🪄✨

In my early 20s, I began misusing prescription medications, which slowly led me into more destructive substance use that took a heavy toll on my life. Alongside navigating mental health challenges, I searched for healing through many different pathways. I explored various recovery models and therapeutic modalities—taking what helped me and leaving the rest. Over time, I built a personal toolbox that truly supported the parts of me that needed care, not judgment. I’ve been on my recovery journey since 2020, and becoming a peer support specialist was inspired by the incredible people I met in support groups. Building a support system was one of the most life-changing and life-saving parts of my path. Now, I hold space for others to find their own way through chaotic substance use and mental health struggles, with compassion, choice, and hope.

I began using substances without intending for things to spiral out of control, but addiction took me down a path I never imagined—misusing prescription medications and eventually street drugs. The emotional toll was heavy, filled with fear, shame, and uncertainty. Through support groups and community, I found connection, guidance, and the strength to navigate both abstinence and harm reduction approaches. Each relapse became a moment of reflection, helping me understand who I am, what I value, and how to nurture myself. Today, I use my lived experience to support others in building meaningful relationships, inner resilience, and a life they don’t just survive, but truly flourish in.

I started struggling with addiction through opioids after prescriptions turned into a habit, and I thought it was a good idea to get them on the street. That’s when I was introduced to stimulants, and my whole world flipped into chaos, especially in my mind. What began as something I tried in desperation quickly turned into a habit that pulled me in week after week, with me struggling to stop for even a few days at a time. What made a difference for me was going to peer support groups and connecting with others who had similar experiences with stimulants or addiction in general. Just hearing that others were struggling too, while also finding ways forward, gave me hope. It helped me feel connected and understood, which made me stronger in facing my inner battles and clearer about why I wanted to move toward healing instead of hurting. Now I offer support to others going through similar challenges with stimulant abuse, drug dependency, and a much more.

For much of my life, I believed that vulnerability meant weakness. I thought I had to keep my struggles hidden and always appear strong. But over time, I learned that the moments I felt most connected, supported, and loved came when I allowed myself to be truly seen. Vulnerability opened the door to healing, deeper relationships, and self-acceptance. Now, I want to share that truth with others—that being vulnerable doesn’t make you fragile, it makes you beautiful and sets you free. There is beauty in showing up as you are, without masks or defenses. Together, we can explore how embracing vulnerability leads to strength, courage, and freedom.

I’ve been through a lot in my life—substance use, legal troubles, and homelessness—before experiencing a full recovery and spiritual awakening. My journey taught me the value of self-reflection, the importance of healthy relationships, and the power of faith. After years of working in addiction treatment, I’ve learned how crucial it is to understand attachment styles, healthy communication, and self-love. For years, I struggled in toxic relationships, but in my early 30s, I began learning about codependency and attachment styles, which has transformed the way I relate to others. My close relationship with God has been central to my healing, and I believe that the love I receive from Him forms the foundation for building healthy, fulfilling relationships. I truly believe that healing and growth are possible for everyone, no matter their past. I’m here to share my experiences, tools, and encouragement to help others walk their own path to recovery and healthy relationships.

I started off doing good, I had 3 beautiful daughters and an amazing job, really had things figured out in life, as I thought. I was introduced to meth and after one time I couldn’t stop, it had that hold. Within a year I lost everything, and that just pushed me even harder. I was in and out of jail a lot and even went on the run a few times in different states living in old houses that look like they could fall at any moment. I started running with this guy that beat me every chance he had and had me so scared to leave. He told me that we were going to rob this store, and that moment saved my life because we were caught and I was sent to prison and I took that time to do some thinking about what I really want and I was given this bible, which I started reading. I decided to change my life and do something good so when I got out, I left everyone behind. I started building my life back from nothing and slowly making progress into the person that I am today.

So, I spent a lot of time in and out of jail. The first time I got arrested, I lost my kids. I lost it after that because I couldn't see any hope. So it made me use more and not think about anything that I was doing. I kept going back to jail, and with the promise of getting help, I was let go and went right back to using till it sent me to prison, where I had a lot of time to think about things and see what I really wanted in life. The transition back into the world was harder than being inside. I left everyone behind to start over because I had no choice if I wanted to better my life; that choice was not easy, but the best one that I have made.

For 15 years, I lived in active addiction, using heroin and fentanyl from the time I was 14. Despite multiple attempts to get clean, I never truly committed to recovery. I’d use up resources and burn bridges, but nothing ever stuck. I didn’t know how to make recovery real, and I was just going through the motions of life. It wasn’t until I made the decision to actually want to live, to find meaning in my life, that everything started to change. Recovery became possible for me when I realized it wasn’t just about stopping my drug use, it was about finding a deeper purpose. In February 2022, I celebrated three years in recovery. I now live with intention and purpose, and every day I make the choice to stay sober because I believe in the life I’m building. I’ve found fulfillment in helping others as a Certified Peer Specialist, guiding them to see that recovery is not just about quitting, it’s about choosing to live with meaning. I truly believe that when you decide to embrace life fully, recovery becomes not only possible but worth everything.

My addiction started at the age of 14 with a prescription for opioid pain medication. Over the years, my addiction continued to progress and by age 16, I was addicted to opiates and illicit stimulants. I've had stints of sobriety since then, but continued to relapse and did not truly find recovery until the age of 30, after I lost my partner of 8 years to the disease of addiction. A lot has changed since then and I have found that finding oneself is the key to finding true healing and recovery.

I've struggled with addiction since my teenage years and finally found recovery in my 30s. Tell me about your battle with addiction and what recovery means to you!

I'm a brand new mom of a beautiful baby boy, and I am in recovery from drug & alcohol abuse. Let's talk about the challenges of being a new mom in recovery!

I was studying psychology in college and dreamed of becoming a psychologist. But before I even graduated, I began experiencing delusions and deep emotional swings I couldn’t explain. I was eventually diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and everything shifted. My diagnosis made it feel like my career goals slipped out of reach, and I lost my footing. I turned to substances like weed, alcohol, psychedelics to cope. I found myself in a string of chaotic and toxic relationships, including one that turned physically abusive. I overstayed, not trusting myself to leave, until I finally reached a breaking point. Medication helped, but so did having people in my life who reminded me I was still worthy of love and healing. Meeting my now-husband helped me believe in my future again. I got sober in 2023, and even though I still live with bipolar disorder, it no longer defines what I can’t do, it helps me know exactly what I need to thrive. If you’re navigating life after diagnosis, I want you to know you’re not alone. There is a path forward, and it gets clearer with time and support.
