Explore adventures and my photography as I rebuild my life after years in a toxic relationship. After being with someone for over twenty years, the abuse, name-calling had affected my anxiety. When I left, I was diagnosed with PTSD, depression and Generalized Anxity. As an entered therapy to try and come back to stability, I sought ways to refocus my thoughts, while trying to build a better life. Photography and writing became my go-tos. Slowly, I began merging the two: writing a story a picture told me. My new found freedom also allowed me to take trips and discover new places I’ve never been to. Each new place not only provided a new experience, but gave me strength and self-confidence to move forward in this new path.
