I have extensive knowledge from first hand experience suffering and healing from severe mental illness and trauma. I want people who are in pain to know they have options, and they are not relegated to this mental prison they've found themselves in. Being being a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist puts me in a position where I can share the knowledge I've already amassed through life experience and training like being a CPMC. Some strengths I have to offer are Creativity, Mindfulness, Authenticity, Hope, and Understanding. Some of my personal medicine includes making art, playing and listening to music, practicing Mindfulness, Meditation, Yoga, and Exercising on a regular basis.
