Published Author: The Blueprint I Broke
As a seasoned healthcare professional with years of clinical experience in the nursing field, I am dedicated to walking alongside individuals in Northwest Indiana as a Certified Peer Support Professional. My commitment to fostering deep, mutual trust and side-by-side restoration drives my work today. To ensure my 'co-navigator' approach is firmly anchored in the highest behavioral health standards, I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Addiction Therapy and Family Systems. By pairing clinical understanding with the profound power of shared, lived experience, I am honored to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with individuals as they clear the rubble of the past and design a purposeful, resilient future.
Becoming an author and a Certified Peer Support Professional was a personal necessity. In 2018, the collapse of my own life forced me to surrender a blueprint that wasn’t mine and begin intentionally rebuilding on a foundation that could never be shaken. True restoration required a commitment to three things:
Radical Accountability: Facing the truth of my past and taking ownership of the rebuild.
Systemic Healing: Recognizing that recovery must include family systems and professional legacies.
Purposeful Education: Returning to school to pair years of clinical healthcare experience with advanced behavioral health standards.
Walking alongside others as a peer is vital to my own journey; standing shoulder-to-shoulder with those who are where I once was is what keeps me grounded, clean, and sober today. Writing The Blueprint I Broke allowed me to repurpose my personal wreckage into a practical guide for another’s reconstruction. Today, my eight years of sustained sobriety and clinical background are the tools I use to keep my eyes fixed North, with the ultimate hope of helping you find your own True North.
We are currently curating a dedicated Board of Directors comprised of passionate community leaders, advocates, and professionals who share our commitment to personal restoration and wellness.
Our board will provide strategic guidance, governance, and heart-centered leadership to help us fulfill our mission.
Full board roster and profiles will be introduced soon.
