Meet the Heart Behind NIA Restoration

​

Hi, and welcome. I’m the founder of NIA Restoration. I support people who are navigating change, feeling stuck, rebuilding after difficult experiences, or looking for encouragement and practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.

​

For more than 25 years, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through personal challenges, life transitions, and times of uncertainty. Much of my experience has included working alongside people affected by mental health and substance-use challenges. With more than 30 years of continuous clean time, this work is personal to me. I understand what it can feel like to start over, ask for help, and take life one day at a time.

​

You do not need to have everything figured out before we connect. We can begin with where you are today, what feels difficult, and what you would like to change. Together, we will build on your strengths and identify small, realistic steps toward your goals.

​

Whether you are working on daily routines, confidence, personal goals, finding helpful resources, or creating more stability in your life, I am here to listen without judgment. I provide coaching and practical support—not therapy, medical treatment, or crisis services. I also partner with community organizations to strengthen the support they offer to the individuals and families they serve.

​

My goal is to help you feel heard, recognize your strengths, and see new possibilities for your life. You decide what moving forward looks like for you, and I will walk alongside you.

​

Reconnect. Recenter. Reclaim.
