Get to know me
Hi, I’m Amy, and I live in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina!
I’m a mental health advocate and psychology enthusiast, currently on a journey to reclaim my body, voice, and life. As someone navigating her own complex recovery, my deepest hope – and most driving passion – is to support others as they heal through their struggles.
In my free time, I enjoy a wide range of grounding and creative interests: listening to music, writing poetry, hand lettering, creating folded book art, practicing photography, volunteering, and exploring holistic practices. I also enjoy collecting dice, finding quotes that resonate with me, and cuddling my stuffed animals (which I’m not at all ashamed of!).
At my core, I’m an empathic idealist — deeply intuitive, sensitive, and meaning-driven, reflected in my Pisces nature, INFJ lens, and resonance with Enneagram Type 4.
With time and continued personal growth, I aspire to become a peer support specialist or crisis counselor. One day, I hope to share the insights and wisdom I’ve learned through my own path of healing to support others who may be struggling.
Although my recovery journey is still evolving, I strive to inspire others by being a beacon of light in their lives. I aim to show compassion to everyone I meet, hoping they will one day be able to extend that same loving kindness to themselves. I’m still learning to offer that same compassion inward, and that remains part of my healing process.
Currently, I am actively working toward recovery from an eating disorder, self-harm, and substance use.
I have also lived with depression and anxiety for many years as a result of complex childhood trauma.
I share this openly because I want you to know that you are not alone in this fight. I understand the hopelessness, the darkness, and the desire to give up. As a survivor of childhood sexual, emotional, and verbal abuse by my late father, I am reminded every day of an important truth —
one that I now share with you:
Every day we live is a day we take back — a day they once believed was theirs.
Collectively, we use our voices to ensure their labels do not define us.
The truth is, they never did.
It is time we remember our worthiness, our lovability, and our importance.
We deserve a life that is kind, meaningful, and truly our own.
· May you meet yourself with compassion, again and again ·
