Hello! My name is Tori. I was born and raised in the East Bay Area in California and moved to Boise in 2021. I became a Peer Support Specialist because I have faced my own struggles with my mental health throughout my life and after navigating through those difficulties, I want to help others feel seen and supported when facing their own struggles. It’s so easy to feel alone or hopeless when you’re struggling with your mental health, and I strive to be a listening ear and a source of encouragement to people who are struggling. I am currently working on receiving my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a minor in Family Studies at BSU. When I’m not working or in school, I love to take walks through nature, read fantasy books, or cuddle with my mini-golden doodle.
