I have a desire to help people get free, get healing, and find their identity, purpose and voice. I have degrees and certificates, but I believe what makes me a credible source is my lived experience. I have a unique perspective of being a victim of crime and also, being someone that has been incarcerated. I have been neglected and abused by individuals with substance use disorder (addiction), and also have been a person with a substance use disorder. I have struggled with mental health issues my entire life, and for 22 years tried to actively commit suicide (hence the title of my book). I have lived through both sides of a lot of difficult issues people deal with and because of it have compassion for all people. I am a judgement-free person, and believe ALL people can have redemption and restoration. I love sharing my lived experience in churches, universities, conferences, small groups and individually; with both those impacted by trauma and the professionals that work with them. I am an advocate for restorative justice and healing communities. I believe that we can stop generational abuse and substance use if we start loving more and judging less.
