Q&A

What does good mental health look like to you?
I believe having good mental health includes various considerations. I believe they include processing and healing from our past. Maintaining a healthy and stable mental state through strong coping mechanisms in the present. And, last but not least, looking at the being you would like to be in the world of your future.
What is a motto or idea that gives you reassurance when you’re having a difficult time?
The past can influence a person’s future but does not define who they are. Let us look at the being you want to see yourself in the world.
What would you say to a friend struggling with a mental health issue?
Difficult emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger, and displeasure are a part of the human condition. However, what is also necessary to the human condition is human interaction, support, and healing. Let me be a human that works with you through the difficulties of being human.
