About Me

Whether it’s psychology, neuroscience, or treatment theory, I'm passionate about the subject of addiction and how it intersects with mental health. My family history is characterized by alcoholism, substance use, and mental illness. Being in recovery myself, my own struggles with these issues affords me a unique insight; one that enables me to communicate to target audiences in a way most can't. 

Writing is my chief passion and I've been refining it for most of my life.  After getting my degree in English literature from the University of Sussex, I started my career as a digital marketer and content creator. This taught me that, while essential, well-written articles aren't enough. The skillsets I've acquired (such as SEO and analytics) are vital for building an integrative content strategy; one that can drive traffic and conversions. 

All the articles I produce are well-researched, SEO-optimized, and of a premium standard. Rather than simply info-dumping, I prioritize empathy, understanding, and compassion, never losing sight of my sincere desire to help others overcome their addictions.
