More About Me...
Yes, I am a recovering drug addict, but I am also the mother of two beautiful children, a wife, daughter, friend, sister, social work professional, health and outreach consultant, Integrative Coach, and so much more. Since getting clean in November 2008, I have been seeking ways to best utilize my personal experiences with drugs and alcohol with my professional background.
Born in Wilmington, Delaware, I have been fortunate enough to also call Breckenridge, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Atlanta home, before landing on the North Shore of Massachusetts, where I live with my beautiful family and four crazy French Bulldogs.
Always one who is seeking, I have spent years utilizing my strengths, experiences, and expertise to serve others. Public speaking, consulting, and professional coaching allow me to apply my skills, passions, talents, and training into what I love most, helping individuals and communities grow and transform, especially around their relationship with drugs and alcohol.
Having faced my own life challenges, and not always gracefully, I know the courage, and at times faith, it takes to ask for help, create, and accept change. In 2023, I began a personal transformation in both my personal and professional life, resulting in the development of B Loud Recovery, a comprehensive and integrative solution to complex issues, around addiction and mental health and the individuals, families, and communities they impact.
My clean date is November 17, 2008. I had my first drink at age 7 and first drug at age 14. It was another 20+ years before I surrendered and asked for help. In that time I caused a lot of damage to myself and others. Today, because I work a rigorous program of recovery, I have a daily reprieve from alcohol and drugs. I share my message loudly so others don’t have to live in shame and silence.
Too often the hardest part of change is getting started, and that is where B Loud Recovery comes in – a partnership designed to help you achieve desired outcomes. Change can be both exciting and terrifying, and I am honored at the prospect of walking beside you during your season of growth.
I recover out loud, so others don't suffer in silence!
