Originally from Seattle, Washington, I spent more than a decade working in television and film, including Modern Family, The Office, and Saturday Night Live. After years of being the “unofficial therapist” for cast and crew, I realized that helping people was my true calling—and that becoming an official therapist was probably better for everyone.

I went on to earn my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and become a Professional Certified Coach (PCC). In 2016, I began working at the Pain Psychology Center in Beverly Hills, where I discovered my passion for helping people recover from chronic pain and other mind-body symptoms.

Today, I combine more than a decade of experience with the latest research in pain psychology. I’ve contributed to research at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, and I currently co-host Curable’s Healing Help and work with Curable as a group facilitator and content creator.

I’m currently based in Berlin, Germany, and see clients all over the world.
