I am here to be a compassionate and accepting support as someone who has experienced significant and complex trauma that led to my own path of healing that is non-linear and shaped by the strength of my ancestors and culture. I am bilingual and would love to connect anyone who speaks Spanish or is from a different culture, as I believe learning and connecting with others fosters belonging and compassion which we all need. I hope to nurture the healing of mind, body, and soul by incorporating each individual's culture and knowledge into a path towards creating a fulfilling and authentic life.

I 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.

Why it helps

How a Peer Specialist helps with cptsd

A Peer Specialist helps with CPTSD because complex trauma is often layered, long-term, and difficult to explain. A 1-on-1 session offers validation, language, and grounded solidarity while you work through triggers, shame, and the slower process of healing.

Frequently asked questions

What makes CPTSD Peer Specialists different from general trauma support?

Sessions tend to focus more on long-term trauma patterns: emotional flashbacks, shame, relationship difficulty, chronic hypervigilance, and identity disruption.

Can a Peer Specialist help with complex trauma triggers?

Yes. A 1-on-1 session does not replace treatment, but it offers validation, shared language, and grounded perspective around recurring triggers and coping.

Do I need a formal CPTSD diagnosis to book a session?

Not always. Many people book because the pattern resonates strongly, even if they are still making sense of their trauma history.
