About Us

Nice to meet you

Welcome!  I am Elisa. I live in Yorktown, Virginia with my husband of 18 years and my two daughters, twelve and eight. I have a background in Creative Writing: Creative Nonfiction and degrees in English and Forensic Science. 

My hope is to challenge the misconceptions surrounding mental health while working to eradicate the stigma and shame. 

I bring my unique perspective of living with bipolar II, ADHD, and anxiety; coupled with parenting my oldest who struggles with her own mental health issues and my youngest who has Down Syndrome. 

Upcoming Topics

  • Complex parenting while battling mental health struggles
  • Marriage with oppositional parenting styles
  • Navigating the workforce with mental health challenges
  • Insight into parenting a child with Down Syndrome
