Helping you succeed through empathy, compassion, and shared experience.
Why I Started Spiritica
After living with bipolar disorder for over 40 years, I've gained a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health. My journey has taught me the importance of a strong support system, and I'm grateful for the unwavering support of my loved ones and the healthcare community.
Balancing personal challenges, such as raising children and supporting my legally blind brother, with a 30-year career in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries has been a testament to the power of resilience. Throughout it all, I've come to realize that the human connection is the cornerstone of healing and growth.
This insight has inspired the creation of Spiritica, a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can share their stories and continue their unique healing journeys. Whether through phone, virtual, or in-person connections, Spiritica offers a supportive environment where everyone can feel heard and understood.
