Hi, I’m Jen!
I am so glad you are here.
I've been on both sides of the equation as a patient and now as a therapist. I have seen the way our society treats those struggling with mental health disorders, and it is pretty unacceptable.
I created this space for professionals and family members who are hoping to change this. I hope these resources encourage and empower people to help those supporting personality disorders and addictions.

Easy to Understand
Our resources are designed to break down complicated mental health disorders so that individuals can better understand these behaviors and feel empowered to support them.

Driven by Empathy
With first-hand experience overcoming borderline personality disorder herself, Jen challenges current cultural narratives around addiction and personality disorders with fresh insight and empathy.
