After years of misdiagnoses and invalidation by healthcare professionals, she realized that advocating for your health is one of the most challenging yet powerful things you can do for yourself. After two decades of trying to find an authentic provider, she found one who took the time to listen to her symptoms and experiences and finally correctly diagnosed her, which changed the course of her life. Realizing the unfairness of her late diagnosis, she decided to become a mental health and chronic illness advocate, hoping that her education and awareness would help people get diagnosed and find treatment sooner. Her journey of finding her healing and answers became a passion for creating a community and platform to help others.
