Most people don’t get into psychiatry because they came from ‘white picket fences’. I was born into a world of addiction and poor parenting. What I came from has made me the woman I am today and I live my life for the moments when I’m able to connect with other people who’ve walked the road I’ve walked. Mental wellness isn’t easy. But when you want something bad enough, you fight for it!! Let me fight with you! Let me be in your corner! We all deserve that. I believe in kindness. Whether you need an ally or prayer, I’ll be there.”
