Dr. Steve
Available tomorrowI have become a Certified Peer Support Specialist because my life has been shaped by trauma, mental illness, and years of trying to cope without understanding or support. After childhood abuse, a difficult time in Air Force, church-related trauma, a bipolar II diagnosis, and eventual burnout, my recovery began through trauma‑informed care, medication, my service dog Violet, and my faith in God. These experiences have equipped me to offer others empathy, hope, and guidance on their own healing journeys.

How a Peer Specialist helps with complex ptsd
A Peer Specialist helps with complex PTSD because symptoms like emotional flashbacks, shame, difficulty trusting, and nervous system overwhelm can be hard to explain to people who have not experienced them. A 1-on-1 session offers recognition, language, and grounded solidarity.
What a complex ptsd specialist session often covers
- Emotional flashbacks, triggers, and nervous system dysregulation
- Shame, self-blame, and the long-term impact of repeated trauma
- Relationship difficulty, trust, and patterns learned from survival
- Healing at your own pace with someone who understands from the inside
Who these specialists may help
- People living with complex PTSD or navigating the effects of prolonged trauma
- Anyone experiencing emotional flashbacks, chronic shame, or relational difficulty tied to past trauma
