(he/him)
My brain's… a lot. If yours is too, you're in good company! At my core, I'm a punkish creative & introspective nerd type. Hence why I get along with misfits so well. But I've spent most of my life feeling out of step—too much, not enough, and under a dark cloud I couldn't name. In my 30s I discovered I'm autistic with a side helping of ADHD. That was on top of a long history of anxiety, anorexia, trauma, and depression telling me I'm garbage. Footnote: I'm not, and you're probably not either. Life's thrown me its share of UGH and I've spent a lot of time learning to stop hating my brain. Still kind of a love/hate relationship, actually. But progress is progress. On paper, I’m a Certified Peer Support Specialist with ongoing training and all that. In practice, I’m just someone who’s been through a lot of the same mental health mess and sits in it with you.

What I Hope to Share
Contribute: Unfiltered weird energy! But seriously, I want to share my lived experiences and the understanding that sometimes just getting through the day is an act of rebellion. Solidarity over toxic positivity! I'm here to hold space, offer pragmatic advice, and bring a bit of existential perspective to the table. Gain: Building more community. Peer-led support is the greatest resource, after all. I like to collect misfits! Most of all, space to be our full selves. Interests: Dismantling neurotypical standards; stomping out conformity and injustice; loud and mainly angry music; quiet spaces (ironic, isn't it?); a whole lot of nerd crap; good coffee; film and art; overthinking the nature of reality; everything spooky.
What Brought Me to ShareWell
I needed support once, and no one was there. I never want anyone to feel as alone as I was. That's it. I want to shrink down the scariness we all face and remind people they're not as isolated in those feelings as they think.
