I am an addictions counselor who has dedicated my life to helping others navigate their trauma. Recently, I experienced the loss of two close family members, which triggered a relapse of symptoms related to complex PTSD, stemming from years of childhood trauma and neglect. This has significantly impacted my ability to work and manage daily responsibilities, as secondary trauma and compassion fatigue have become overwhelming.

During this challenging time, I am unable to compartmentalize my own healing journey while supporting others. I am seeking support to cover essential expenses such as rent, utilities, insurance, therapy, and medication. My dogs, Tatum and Lola, are providing me with much-needed emotional support, helping me cope with the daily challenges I face. These funds will provide the stability I need to focus on my recovery and eventually return to my role as a counselor, where I can continue to make a positive impact on others' lives.

Your support will not only help me regain my footing but also enable me to continue my mission of helping others heal. Thank you for considering contributing to my journey towards recovery and resilience.
