Certified Family Peer Specialist
As a Peer Specialist, I use my lived experience with recovery and mental health challenges to provide support to the client. I believe people need 2 things in order to change: hope and a safe space. I use my experiences as a testimony that overcoming challenges, healing, and becoming healthier is possible. I honor all pathways to recovery and mental health goals. I will come alongside you to encourage and support you in achieving your well-being goals, whatever that looks like for you. Together, we make a path towards a healthier and healing ‘you’.
I have worked in the mental health and recovery fields for over 3 years. I have completed the 46hour trainings provided by MN DHS and passed the MN state exam for each of my credentials. I am currently in college to obtain my LADC (Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor) degree, on a pathway towards further education.
