Summary

Christina Kantzavelos is a neurodivergent, and first-generation (third culture) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), life coach, writer and chronic illness warrior.  She received both her BA and MSW from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and her MLIS from San Jose State University (SJSU). 

Destiny Winters believes that while chronic illnesses may be incurable, it is absolutely possible to live a life full of meaning and purpose despite persistent pain. Healing relationships is at the cornerstone of her work, as she recognizes that without people to rely on and experience joy with, life can become messy quickly.
