I know firsthand what it feels like to ride the highs and lows of a mood disorder. I was diagnosed with Bipolar I, Rapid Cycling with Psychotic Features in my early 20s, after an involuntary hospitalization. At first, I struggled: going off medication, landing back in the hospital, and feeling like a shadow of myself. That was my turning point. From there, I committed to a wellness plan that truly supported my life. I’ve immersed myself in wellness and mental health education, including multiple college and university courses. I actively practice and teach skills from CBT, ACT, and DBT—tools that help me navigate challenges every day. Because I’ve been there, I can go there with you too. Together, we can talk openly about the ebb and flow of living with a mood disorder, whether you need validation, new coping strategies, or just someone who truly understands. This is a safe space where you don’t have to explain yourself: you can simply be heard, supported, and met with empathy.
