About Kristin
Hi! My name is Kristin and my pronouns are She/Her/Hers. I am from Long Island and I have volunteered and worked in the Peer space for 6 years. In addition to being a Certified Peer Support Specialist, I am a Survivor and an Advocate. I'm also a writer, an editor, an animal lover and I am especially passionate about animal rescue and rehabilitation. Working with and caring for animals has been tremendously therapeutic for me. I am also well-versed in how to certify emotional support animals. In my free time, I enjoy yoga, reading, writing poetry, photography, singing, dancing and spending time with my family and friends. My #1 happy place is the beach. I would be honored to provide you with support and encouragement on your unique healing journey. Please don't hesitate to connect with me in one of my group meetings, 1-on-1 coaching meetings or in my chat room. In the meantime, please be gentle with yourself and practice quality self-care. You are worthy and you deserve to find peace in your heart and mind!
My Recovery Story
I've come to accept that I can be hurting and healing at the same time on my Recovery journey. That has given me great peace in my heart and I hope to help others find comfort and healing through self-care and coping skill development.
My Motivation To Help
Volunteering as a Peer Support Group Facilitator during the COVID-19 pandemic was an immeasurably inspiring and fulfilling way for me to move forward toward Recovery during the most challenging time of my life thus far. Knowing that I was encouraging others during their most vulnerable moments in some of the same ways my support system had rallied around me in my time of need was a major catalyst for my healing journey.
