“I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.“
“So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
This organization was forged from lived experience—of surviving domestic violence and sexual harm by a soldier I loved and trusted, of being failed and revictimized by the military system when I tried to seek accountability, and of navigating the aftermath without the support I so deeply needed. I searched for care that truly understood what it meant to be a survivor within and beyond the military space, especially as someone in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. I couldn’t find it. So I decided to build it.
This space is for survivors like me, those who’ve been hurt, silenced, or overlooked by the systems that were supposed to protect them. It’s for those carrying complex trauma, grief, and loss. It’s for those who’ve been told they were too much, too complicated, or beyond help. You are not. You matter. And you’re not alone.
I bring years of experience in peer support, domestic violence advocacy, and end-of-life care, guided by training as an end of life advocate and Spiritfarer, and a deep commitment to trauma-informed, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and survivor-led values. I believe healing begins with being heard and honored in our full humanity. I believe in holding space for life’s most difficult moments with compassion, dignity, and care.
Whether you’re healing from trauma, seeking advocacy, or facing the end of life, this is a place where your story is safe, your needs matter, and your journey is honored. Together, we walk, at your pace, in your direction, with gentleness, clarity, and respect.
