I've always been deeply sensitive to emotional pain. Growing up with a mother who struggled with severe mental health issues left me without a space to share my inner world or develop my own identity. Through my own struggles and decades of work in marginalized communities as a therapist, social worker, and facilitator, I have dedicated my life to helping people explore their emotions, experiences, and humanity through authentic connection.
To fill this need, I created communication games that provide a safe space for people to explore both their struggles and dreams with those who truly want to understand. Until now, no tools existed to foster such deep, meaningful conversations. I wish I had something like this to connect with those I’ve lost to suicide. Players often say they know someone better after one hour of playing than they do most people in their lives. These groundbreaking games are filling an urgent and critical need.
