I hold a Master of Science in Addiction Counseling, and I’m a certified hypnotherapist and seasoned somatic trauma practitioner. I am the founder of the New Life Awareness Institute, with nearly four decades of experience in the behavioral health and addiction field.

I help mothers of addicted children reclaim peace, purpose, and personal power—without abandoning compassion for their child. Through boundary-setting, emotional resilience, and deep self-trust, I guide women back to themselves so they can become strong, clear, and grounded advocates for their own lives. Thus, allowing them to walk the journey with their child in a new loving way.

Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals and families impacted by addiction—both as a professional and as a mother walking this path myself. I understand the heartbreak, confusion, and hope that comes with loving someone caught in the grip of substance use. I also know the broken industry from the inside out—and how the traditional system often leaves mothers and families silenced, blamed, or shut out entirely.

That’s why I’m here; to tell the truth about what’s really going on, to offer tools that heal, and to remind you that You Are Not Powerless, You Can Find Peace, You Can Live Fully. And you don’t have to give up on your child to do it.
