Coeur d'Alene

Summary

I’m a person in long-term recovery who’s passionate about walking alongside others on their own paths to healing. After stepping away from the addiction and mental health field for a few years to work independently as a hairstylist and newspress carrier, I’m ready to return to the work that truly speaks to my heart. My lived experience has taught me the power of connection, empathy, and showing up for people without judgment. I bring strong communication skills, a deep sense of compassion, and the ability to meet people where they are. I believe that recovery is possible for everyone, and I’m committed to being a source of hope and support for those who need it most. Willing to relocate to: Spokane Valley, WA
