About Me

Special Thanks To

My work and my recovery have never been a solo effort. My deepest thanks to the people and organizations below.

• My parents and family
  For the emotional and financial support they gave me when I was ill. Recovery was possible because they stood by me.
• The Recovery Center of Hamilton County
  For the help they provided when I was ill, and for giving me a job as a peer specialist — a place where recovery is the whole point, run by people who have lived it. If you or someone you love is working on recovery in the Cincinnati area, they can help: recoverycenterhc.org
• The Ohio Arts Council
  For supporting my work through individual artist grants. This artist was awarded the Ohio Arts Council’s Artists with Disabilities Access Program for 2026.
• Every publication that helped get my message out
  HealthyPlace, Brainz Magazine, Streetvibes, The Forgotten Voice, The Contributor, Static Movement, and all the editors who gave writing about severe mental illness a home when it needed one.
