About the host
I am a National Certified Peer Support Specialist. Most important is I have lived experience with Bipolar, anxiety, depressing,PTSD..I have a chronic medical condition so I understand what that is like. I am certified in grief counseling. I have experienced normal grief and complicated grief. I can walk you through the steps and will be there for you. I know what it’s like to file for disability and I can help you with that process. I have been homeless before but I got out of the black hole and you can too. I am a certified Youth mental Health Coach. I am also a forensic certified Peer Support specialist. I am also in class right now to become a first Responder group and hope to start some groups for First Responders soon.
Motivation for help
I love helping other people. I was a Nurse for over 33 years. Also a Firefighter and EMT. Helping is in my Genes. I know Recovery is in everyones reach and I am here to help

Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) is the leading national organization led by and for people living with depression and bipolar disorder. Our peer-led, wellness-focused resources are available when, where, and how people need them—through online and in-person support groups, podcasts, videos, and print materials distributed nationwide. DBSA support groups offer a safe, understanding space to share experiences, learn coping strategies, and find hope. All groups are led by trained peers—individuals living with mood disorders—who are not mental health professionals but are uniquely equipped to guide and support others on their wellness journey.
We realize that sometimes there are waitlists because the meeting rooms are already at capacity. If this happens when you register for a group, there are more ways to find the support you need:
Standby Rooms
The meeting Standby option allows group leaders to invite waitlisted members into a meeting if seats are open (due to no-shows or last-minute cancellations). Members who are on the meeting's waiting list are invited to enter a virtual "standby room" where they wait until any available seats are offered. These seats are then offered to members in the standby room based on the order of the original waitlist. Learn More
DBSA Chapter Network Support Groups
If you're looking for additional support group options, we encourage you to join a support group through our Chapter Network. You can search for an in-person support group in your area, or, several offer online support groups open to peers nationwide.
