Why I Created Seizable Support Circle
I created Seizable Support Circle because I know firsthand what it is like to live with epilepsy.
I have been living with epilepsy since I was 13 years old. Over the past 19 years, I have navigated multiple seizure types, tried more than 10 anti-seizure medications, explored holistic approaches with limited success, experienced multiple hospitalizations, undergone countless EEGs, and worked with so many neurologists that I have lost count. Through these experiences, I have learned that epilepsy affects far more than seizures alone. It can impact memory, independence, confidence, relationships, career, mental health, and nearly every aspect of daily life.
As both a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and someone living with epilepsy, I created Seizable Support Circle to provide the kind of community, understanding, and support that so many people impacted by epilepsy are searching for.
No one should have to navigate epilepsy alone.

Vision Statement
Our long-term vision is to build a comprehensive ecosystem of support for individuals and families impacted by epilepsy and seizure disorders. Through support circles, education, caregiver resources, advocacy, community partnerships, and the Seizable platform, we aim to create a connected community where people feel supported, informed, empowered, and understood.
