DetailsAbout Zoe
Hi, I’m Zoe. I’m a California Certified Peer Support Specialist and Certified Professional Recovery Life Coach. My work is rooted in lived experience, compassion, and the belief that none of us should walk through healing alone. I support people navigating recovery, identity exploration, life transitions, religious deconstruction, grief, trauma recovery, and rebuilding after starting over. I have a special heart for the LGBTQ+ community, especially people affirming their identity later in life, coming out after religious environments, or learning how to live more authentically after spending years trying to be who they were expected to be. As a peer, I don’t position myself above you. I walk alongside you. My approach is human, grounded, and empowering. I believe deeply in self-determination, dignity, and helping people reconnect with their own voice, choices, and inner authority. I’m also a multimedia and intuitive artist and a mother of three. Creativity, spirituality without dogma, and personal transformation are woven into the way I hold space and connect with others. My lineage is Ventureño-Barbareño Chumash Mission Indian from California. My connection to ancestry, resilience, creativity, and community also shapes how I understand healing and the importance of being seen as a whole person. Whether you’re in recovery, exploring your identity, rebuilding after loss, starting over, or simply feeling stuck somewhere in your life, you deserve support that sees the whole of you.
My Recovery Story
My recovery journey required me to confront trauma, unlearn survival patterns, and rebuild my life from the inside out. It meant taking responsibility for my healing while also acknowledging the realities that supported it access to mental healthcare, financial resources, safe housing, nourishment, and a partner who stood beside me as I made hard changes. I recognize that those forms of access were privileges that created the conditions for stability. Recovery, for me, is ongoing growth learning from mistakes, evolving, and returning to self-trust again and again.
My Motivation To Help
I’m motivated to do this work because I know what it’s like to rebuild, reclaim your voice, and start over without a map. No one should have to navigate healing or identity alone and I believe lived experience can be a powerful bridge to hope.
