BA (Double Major in Art History and Studio Art) from Ithaca College. Thumbnail and channel art is my own.
I was accredited, as a Certified Peer Specialist, by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and the Georgia Mental Health Consumer Network, in 2013. My training includes Trauma Informed Peer Support, WRAP: wellness recovery action plan, 24-hour phone help, Group Support Meetings, Respite Center Services, and Negotiating Self-harm. My passion for trauma informed peer support solidified while employed with a Georgia Peer Run Respite Center for consumers of mental health services. Through my lived experience with narcissistic abuse, I lend a unique insight into mental health and recovery from trauma.
