Toward Recovery©
My work is grounded in the principles of adult learning. To improve workplace mental health literacy, I use Toward Recovery© a 5-stage framework that helps employees navigate their return to work processes and maintain their well being while at work.
Peer Support Specialist
As a Peer Support Specialist, I balance the needs of employers for a productive workforce, with the needs of employees who are struggling at work OR who are in the midst of the return to work process.

I use my personal experiences and extensive training to help others achieve their goals for well being and recovery. I customize my delivery according to individual’s different learning styles, lived experiences, and the various industry sectors participants come from.
