  •   Throughout my life I developed a passion for helping others. This passion has inspired me to open a safe supportive environment for all Women & Trans women suffering from Addiction, P.T.S.D Domestic Violence & Unresolved Trauma.  I opened Don't Look Back Counseling LLC (private practice) and then added the not for profit. to give back to the community.

I was born in Salisbury Maryland and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, my family moved to Colorado when I was 11 years. I am the oldest child raised by a single mother, I was blessed with four children of my own all boys by the time I was 21 years old and after several abusive relationships I began abusing substances which lead me to a life of criminal activity. I was sentenced to the Colorado Department of Corrections. After my release I decided I had enough. and I successfully completed parole and the requirements for Denver Human Services to obtain custody of my children. I completed my degree in General studies at Mansfield Business School and started co-facilitating groups at Lampkin Group Center with Michelle Lampkin a mentor who at this time believed in me more than I believed in myself.
