As someone who has struggled with their own ups and downs with Mental Health i’ve always done what i can to expand the community and raise awareness for this cause.

I've lived with Anxiety and Depression for the better part of my adult life but don't feel like i am "suffering" anymore.  A lot of that comes from me being involved and integrated with support communities around where i live and work.

I believe it's critical for any and all discussions around these stigmas continue to be had at every level. Everyone is impacted by these mental health burdons whether it be themself licing with it, or someone they know and love. So why can't we just talk it out and get these thoughts out of our heads and into a dialect with others.

I am very passionate about always opening the conversation about my struggles early on and how i have become somewhat in control of the anxiety and depression instances i experience. More importantly, i value the opportunity others that i know or even strangers that are willing to speak with me while i can just be a set of supportive ears.
