Hi, I'm Belinda or Belle. I'm in long-term recovery myself and work as both an outpatient substance use counselor and an online recovery coach on multiple platforms, so I see this journey from both sides of the desk. Whether I'm supporting clients one-on-one, coaching folks online, or writing about the messy realities of addiction on my blog "Progress is Progress Mile or a Millimeter," I'm all about honest connection and breaking down stigma. My lived experience fuels my work and my creativity—I believe progress looks different for everyone, and I'm here to help people find what works for them.

"I survived rape, homelessness, and two decades on the street chasing dope. I was a sex worker, a hustler, a “street junkie” who refused to die. Now I teach others how to really live, through addiction counseling, and education, harm reduction, recovery coaching and written word. My work turned my survival into service, and pain into power."
