SHARE YOUR STORY

I’m working on a personal photography project that strives to be a visual representation of mental health struggles. I want these images to help others know that they aren’t alone in their battles, their insecurities and much more. My dream for the project is to eventually have a gallery and a book alongside it.

While I wish I could photograph everyone, I want anyone who has a story to share to have the opportunity to have their voice heard.

Use the form below to share a story/you feelings about mental health. They can be about personal struggles, poems you’ve written, quotes you love, or something you want others to know about their struggles.
