About Me

For 20 years, I lived with a secret that shaped my entire life - trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling). I hid behind medical explanations for my bald spots, even from those closest to me, while shame and isolation became my constant companions. This struggle sparked a powerful shift: I became a physician assistant in psychiatry, determined to understand my own behavior and help others with similar challenges.

As a BFRB & Habit Coach, I've turned everything I've learned in my training and personal journey into a program to guide others through compassionate behavior change. My 12-week program, Hack Your Habit: Your Guide to Lasting Freedom From Unwanted Behaviors, takes a unique approach that helps people break free from ANY unwanted behavior - without willpower or shame!
