I have been in this field since 2009 when I started speaking at Victim Impact Panels. I lost my mother to a drunk driving crash in 2008 and decided that I needed to do something to help others not go through what I did. In 2015, after my own addiction battles, I decided to become a licensed addiction counselor. I feel that my own experience as well as my realistic approach makes me a great fit for others that are battling their own addictions.
