When I needed help in my early 20s, I was labeled, medicated, and told I needed to develop a thicker skin (but not given any tools to do so). Spoiler alert—it didn’t work. It kept me alive, but barely. I am eternally grateful for the therapists I found later in life who taught me empowerment through self-regulation, and provided a safe environment where my whole self was welcome. Being able to do the same for others is a privilege I do not take for granted. 

I am passionate about broadening the reductionist medical model of mental illness. Contemporary society prioritizes the individual over the collective, and rewards productivity at all costs. Given the level of disconnect—from ourselves and each other—it makes sense that so many of us are struggling. The world needs more kindness and compassion. While we can’t change the world, we have the power to create and nurture it in ourselves and our relationships.

Throughout my activist, academic, and ultimately professional endeavours, I have been blessed to work alongside the most brilliant, fierce, and hilarious women. Their relentless encouragement keeps me going. I am forever in awe of the power of unconditional support and validation.
