My story

I know what it means to hit a bottom, and I know the profound gift of discovering there’s a way back. I’ve been in personal recovery for nearly three decades.

I know this from the other side too. I’ve watched people I love fight hard battles, and felt how far those struggles ripple — not just to the person living through it, but to everyone around them. That dual view, having walked it myself and walked alongside people I love through it, shapes every conversation I have with a client.

I’ve carried my own grief and loss as well, and done real work in therapy and support groups to move through it. I don’t ask anyone to walk anywhere I haven’t been myself.

But here’s what I’ve come to believe more than anything: my past doesn’t define my future, and yours doesn’t define yours either. Each day is a new one — and we get to grow into it together, with encouragement and compassion.

I’m a Certified ASM (Authentic Self Modality) Guide and a Peer Support Specialist prerequisite graduate. My practice rests on three simple principles: Honesty, Integrity, and Letting Go of what I can’t control — truths I lived by for decades before I ever coached anyone else through them. I meet people exactly where they are, without imposing any single approach.

“Meeting someone exactly where they are, without judgment, and walking beside them one step at a time — that’s not a technique I learned. It’s simply who I am.”

— Trina

How I work with you

My sessions are built around a simple framework: Honesty, Integrity, and Letting Go of what cannot be controlled. We start with an honest look at where you are — whatever that looks like for you — and build a path forward together from there.

I’m not a substitute for licensed clinical care, and I’m careful about that line. Where you need more than coaching, I’ll help point you toward the right kind of additional support — I’d rather be honest about that than pretend I’m all of it.

Whatever season you’re walking through, you don’t have to walk it alone.
