There was a time when my nervous system felt like it was running my life: bipolar cycles, dissociation, seasonal depression. I wasn’t broken. I was overwhelmed and unskilled. Recovery became a daily practice: not perfection, not positivity, but learning how to regulate, pause, and choose grounded responses. Today I’m a Certified Mental Health Peer Specialist and Wellness Coach. I use and model skills from ACT, DBT, and CBT to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and steady decision-making. My work is human-to-human. No fixing. No hierarchy. Just co-regulation, empathy, and helping you reconnect with your own agency. I’m spiritual (not religious) and honor each person’s path without judgment. Outside of peer work, I practice tarot and evidential mediumship. You are not broken. You are adapting. If you’re looking for grounded, lived-experience support, I’d be honored to work with you one-on-one. And yes, my cat Ten is an adorable velvet assassin.
