Lindsay Carpenter

Devils Lake

Summary

I am a Mother of 3 kids, a dog and a cat. I am a survivor of domestic violence, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. I have ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety/Panic Disorder, and I am an addict with 3 years of sobriety. While in active addiction I was separated from my kids, was jobless, homeless, and hopeless. My road to recovery was alone. It gave me a desire to use my life to make a meaningful, positive impact. I am skilled in active listening, crisis intervention, and empathetic communication, creating a collaborative environment and supporting individuals in their recovery journey.
