I currently cover mental health, addiction and relationships as a reporter/writer for Elements Behavioral Health. I write blogs and evidence-based articles for leading mental health and addiction websites and online publications, as well as content for the company’s network of blogs, including Promises and The Ranch. I work with leading doctors, therapists and experts in this field as interview subjects as well as writing collabortively. Most of stories below are not by-lined.
