I have faced the challenges of depression and anxiety for the past 15 years. My journey has included significant periods of anxiety that impacted my academic and professional progress, such as needing extra time to complete my undergraduate degree and ultimately leaving grad school due to being overwhelmed by health anxiety and depression.

In the depths of my most severe anxiety, getting out of bed each day was a daily struggle. I’ve recently incorporated wellness habits that have made my days feel brighter, more manageable, and more fulfilling.
