Crafting Engaging Health Copy

At the ripe age of 18 years old, I dove headfirst into an unconventional path–becoming the youngest student to pursue a degree in addiction counseling at my local community college. Naïve but determined, I stepped into a world I barely understood. My motivation? A desire to unravel the mysteries of our minds and, perhaps, make a difference in someone’s life along the way. 

My first therapy session was a chemical dependency education group, and it was a mess! Think nervous stutters, aggressively shuffling paperwork, and profuse sweating—the quintessential intern experience. But you know what? Amidst that chaos, I found my groove. We discussed the underlying causes of addiction for over an hour. That room, filled with vulnerability and raw honesty, has actually become a memory etched amongst my fondest of this field. 

Fast forward 14 years, I’ve soaked up knowledge like a sponge (an evidence-based sponge, mind you). Now I channel that passion here, into my mental health writing business, NuNarratives Professional. It’s my way of giving back to our communities that deserve health literacy, evidence-based education, and access to reliable mental and behavioral health resources. By challenging harmful stigma and misinformed narratives, we’ve reshaped public perspectives on mental healthcare and wellness.

Whether you’re a therapist, BCBA, digital health startup, rehab, wellness brand, or publication, together we can create NuNarratives that support others in their path toward self-improvement.
