I’m a therapist, author, and treatment-program founder bringing clinical expertise and lived experience to how we understand and care for mental health.

I’ve spent 15 years working where mental health is most often misunderstood. From founding treatment programs to bringing psychology to a worldwide audience, my work connects what we know clinically with what it actually means to be human.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker, registered psychological associate, and hold a doctorate in clinical psychology. I also live with AuDHD and BPD. My perspective is shaped by both the care I provide and the experiences I’ve lived, informing how I lead, write, teach, and challenge the assumptions that stand between people and meaningful support.

invite meFor seven years, I’ve shared what I know about BPD as a licensed therapist and someone who lives with it. Thousands of people around the world have asked for more: more understanding, more guidance, and somewhere to turn beyond a social media post.
I’ve been listening. Now, I’m bringing my clinical expertise and lived experience together into something new. I’m not sharing all the details just yet, but this has been a long time coming.
BPD help is coming soon.
