Feel seen heard and supported through compassion and a safe space. Through substance use/other addictive behaviors and struggling and trying to cope with mental health diagnoses - anxiety, depression, ptsd, bi-polar and BPD, I have found my purpose in creating positive, trusting, non-judgmental and supportive spaces with those seeking connection as they navigate addictive behaviors, mental health disorders, difficult emotions, trauma, and life challenges. My approach centers on empowering others and providing hope. My own journey is lived experience with childhood trauma, ptsd, mental health conditions, substance use, domestic violence and toxic relationships. My joy is being a mom to two boys, three cats and my bird. I love the city but I am a country girl by heart delighted to have lived next to a farm growing up. This shaped my love of all animals. Musical theater and music are my passion. I am a Haunt actor at Legends of Fear and play a different witch every year. Definitely typecast lol. My dream job is to be a Panda Nanny. I am an introvert who wears a mask as an extrovert. It’s very hard for me to escape childhood trauma and to trust but I am learning and healing one minute at a time.

Why it helps

How a Peer Specialist helps with social anxiety

A Peer Specialist helps with social anxiety because the cycle of avoidance, rumination, and self-criticism often grows in silence. A private session can help you feel less alone, name what is happening, and hear practical strategies your specialist used to take social risks at their own pace.

Frequently asked questions

What does a 1-on-1 social anxiety Peer Specialist session help with?

Sessions help you talk about avoidance, performance fear, freezing in social moments, and the inner critic that follows social situations, with someone who has lived it.

No. A Peer Specialist offers lived-experience support and practical strategies, often alongside therapy or self-guided care, not in place of clinical work.
