Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I’ve been a peer support specialist for over 8 years and absolutely love it. I had taught Special Education for 20 years, working with multi-handicapped babies all the way to developmentally disabled adults. Having to stop the job I loved due to a car accident, I have lived with chronic pain for 24 years - which has been challenging and a growing experience. Helping people has always been my passion. I can help you with : Divorce Parenting Family Alcoholism Blended families Caregiving- Mom had Alzheimer’s and Dad had multiple physical and psychiatric issues. Chronic Illness/Chronic Pain Grief/Loss I married the ❤️ of my life who had diabetes and over 40 surgeries till he died in 2020. He was the kindest and most positive person I ever met. I try to pass on the lessons that he taught me on how to live your best life . I will provide a safe place for you to share any challenge you are facing and look forward to hearing your story so we can help you on your journey. Warmly, Virginia
