As a trauma and grief counselor with personal experience in long-term recovery from drugs and alcohol, I have been working in the mental health space for over six years as a peer-to-peer facilitator. I operate a recovery community organization called Soboat Steamboat, where I provide support to individuals and families navigating mental health and recovery crises. My work extends to jails and hospitals, where I engage directly with individuals to address their mental health or recovery needs.
I also facilitate group meetings through Culinary Hospitality Outreach and Wellness (CHOW), offering free, online peer support to people in the hospitality industry and beyond, with five weekly meetings. My passion is to provide pro bono support to communities in need, especially in crisis situations, and CHOW is available to offer both group and one-on-one support, always free of charge.
