About Me

I’m a Certified Peer Support Specialist, life coach, and artist based in California. My work is rooted in lived experience, healing, and the quiet process of remembering who you were before you had to shape yourself around your environment.

As a multidisciplinary artist working across digital art, painting, drawing, and photography, creativity has always been part of how I make sense of the world. My work explores identity, healing, and transformation using art as a way to reconnect with self, process lived experience, and return to something deeper and more true.

My journey into this work began in my own recovery, where creativity and inner work became a way back to myself. That experience informs everything I do. I show up as a human first.

I work with people who have been carrying a lot for a long time. People navigating identity shifts, life transitions, questions around faith or belonging, and the weight of what they’ve lived through especially LGBTQ+ individuals and those moving through mental health experiences.

This work is collaborative. You lead, and I walk alongside you.

Together, we create space to reconnect, rebuild, and move toward what feels true at your pace, in your own way.

Background & Training

Alongside lived experience, my work is supported by formal training in life coaching, peer support, and trauma-informed care.

A Note on My Work

This isn’t therapy or clinical treatment. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.

While I am a Certified Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist, services offered through this practice are private-pay and are not billed through Medi-Cal or insurance.

My work is grounded in connection, lived experience, and forward movement. I support people in getting clear on who they are, releasing what no longer fits, and building a life that reflects what’s true.
