Former Psychotherapist | Mental Health Author | Bipolar Advocate
Welcome! I'm glad you're here.
I am a former psychotherapist turned mental health writer. These days, I often write about bipolar disorder, psychosis, mood disorders, and stigma reduction.
I am also the creator behind Thriving With Bipolar, a community dedicated to living better with bipolar.
You have probably seen my writing before. I’m a regular contributor to WebMD. My writing has also appeared in eCounseling, TherapyTribe, and Migraine Again (Everyday Health).
When journalists need expert commentary on bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and other mental health topics, they often come to me. I’ve weighed in on mental health news and topics for Healthline, Insider, Yahoo, and The Daily Mail.
