Jill

Welcome to California Dreamin’, a nonprofit built on the power of lived experience and peer support. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate and judgment-free care, and one of our key examples of this is Jill, who serves on our board as secretary. Jill’s journey is a testament to the strength of recovery. Having faced her own psychiatric crises and navigated the challenges of severe mental health symptoms, she brings a unique perspective and deep empathy to her role as a peer counselor.

Jill understands firsthand the importance of a kind, supportive presence in moments of crisis. She offers a level of care that is rooted in authenticity, helping others without shame or stigma. Her personal experience allows her to connect with clients in a way that is both meaningful and healing. As California Dreamin’ continues to grow, Jill looks forward to sharing her skills in art therapy, using creativity as a tool for emotional expression and recovery. Through her work, Jill embodies the heart of our mission: to offer support with understanding, kindness, and the wisdom that comes from overcoming personal challenges.
