Hi! I'm Laurie, the Mental Health Mama!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I have been a writer for nine years but have had an abnormal love of words my entire life. It made sense to combine my love of writing and passion for mental health/wellness and relationships and turn it into something that could directly impact the lives of my loved ones and those who struggle with mental health and relationship challenges.
My Story
As a Young Adult, I worked for a wilderness therapy program for teens. It was a program based on love, acceptance, and peace. All while living in the harsh environment of the Arizona desert.
I watched teens that struggled with shame learn acceptance and self-compassion, and that experience changed my life forever.
It wasn't until over three years ago when I started my own therapy journey, that I began to learn how the things we perceive about ourselves affect every, and I do mean EVERY, aspect of our lives. Therapy is no cakewalk. But it has been so incredibly rewarding.
My motivation is anchored in a personal connection. As my teenage daughter navigated her own mental health journey, I recognized her struggle was shared by many. Startled by the statistic that 1 in 4 youth faces depressive symptoms, I found myself compelled to raise awareness.
My mission, especially for women and children, centers on initiating crucial dialogues and amplifying vital resources in our collective pursuit of mental well-being.
Now, allow me to bridge the gap between my passion and your vision. As a seasoned freelance copywriter, I specialize in crafting compelling content and persuasive copy tailored to the needs of mental health companies and professionals.
Imagine having a partner who can distill complex concepts into engaging narratives, creating a profound connection with your audience. Envision insightful articles, attention-grabbing emails, and persuasive marketing materials that not only educate but also resonate deeply.
