When life feels heavy, someone kind can be here.

Josh holds an MS in Human Services — Community Intervention & Leadership — and is completing a doctorate in Human Services focused on Prevention, Intervention & Advocacy. But the training is only part of the story. He's spent years working in behavioral health, with deep training in mental health and substance use, and hands-on experience in peer work — sitting across from people on hard days, again and again, and learning that what actually helps rarely comes from a script. It comes from someone who stays in the room. Josh also lives an unconventional life — full-time on the road, building things from the ground up, and writing openly about parts of his own story most people keep quiet. He knows what it's like to need someone who's just there, no agenda, no clock running. Talk to Josh, and that's what you get. Not a technique. Just someone who's here.

I’m Chrissy, the heart behind Hello. I Am Here. I created this service for people who are hurting, facing hard seasons, or simply need someone to remind them they are not alone. My greatest experience has come from life itself—its struggles, losses, lessons, and the strength to keep going. I believe we all have a story, and mine has taught me the value of compassion, strength, and encouragement. My journey began early. I was married and pregnant walking across the stage to receive my high school diploma at 18, went through a divorce 7 years later, began a new chapter in a marriage that is now nearing 30 years. While raising three children and working full time, I earned my degree in Criminal Justice, which led me toward a career in substance-abuse counseling. My life has given me a close and personal understanding of the struggles many families face behind closed doors. I have watched loved ones battle mental-health challenges and addiction, and I understand the worry, heartbreak, and uncertainty that can come with trying to support someone you care deeply about. I have also carried the heavy reality of my brother being convicted of murder and receiving a life sentence in prison—an experience that has affected our family in ways that are difficult to explain. I have grieved the loss of my mother to lung cancer, father-in-law to COVID-19, step father-in-law to Alzheimer's Disease, and experienced the loneliness of estrangement from my siblings. These moments have not been easy, but they have given me a deeper compassion for those carrying grief, family conflict, addiction, or pain that may be difficult to put into words. Even through the difficult seasons, I am deeply thankful for the family and friends God has placed in my life. Their love, support, laughter, and presence have been a gift, reminding me that there is still goodness, connection, and hope to be found. I believe no one should feel unseen, unheard, or alone. Through Hello. I Am Here., I offer encouragement, understanding, hope, and a reminder that your story matters. My life story has brought me here—for you.
