Meet Jessica!

My name is Jessica and I am in long term recovery from a substance use disorder and mental health diagnosis.  

I began seeking recovery in 2017 through Celebrate Recovery, a faith based 12-Step program, which helped me to recognize that my addiction was a symptom of ongoing sexual trauma I endured as a child.  

I began participating in trauma therapy to address the effects that trauma had on me, and I completed an intensive outpatient program at Palmetto Health to help learn about the effects of my substance use.  

Recovery has given me my voice and my life back. Today, I have hope and dreams for my future. I am also able to be a present, loving and engaging mother to my son. 

I have been guiding and supporting other women in their recoveries for the last five years at Celebrate Recovery, and I have recently been given the privilege to expand my community and be a part of The Courage Center.  

I believe in multiple pathways to recovery, and I have a deep love and conviction to meet people where they are, no matter where they are.
