Recovery is… Courage.

Courage is the ability to overcome challenges which others thought were impossible.

“It takes courage to show up and become who you really are”.

– E.E. Cummings

For so long, I believed I was this lady from Northern New Mexico who would marry my high school sweetheart and raise children right next door to my grandmother. But, life took its turn and I never married my high school sweetheart, I didn’t live next to my grandmother, and I battled my own trials and challenges. 

Through time, I found how much I enjoyed helping others in ways which I was never given the opportunity to have.  I am now a clinical social worker and I am extremely blessed to have the abilities to work with individuals to help them through recovery and help build strength. 

Strength to have the courage needed to heal painful memories, overcome sadness, reduce anxiousness, and eliminate addictions.  I am a believer of building self determination to increase self esteem which brings positive awareness to individuals.
