I’m a nationally recognized expert in mental health, addiction, drug policy, and stigma.

I’m also a physician living in long-term recovery. My lived addiction experience and medical background enable me to advocate for compassionate, science-backed public health policy in an accessible way.

As the co-founder and CEO of Elevyst, I lead a consulting firm dedicated to bridging the gap between public health and public safety. We work tirelessly to address the needs of communities across the United States by creating groundbreaking, data-driven projects that drive meaningful change. Read more about my background here.

My clients include public health and healthcare leaders, community-based organizations, government agencies, academics, and a range of criminal justice and law enforcement groups. They hire me to help them improve the lives of people with mental health and substance use disorders. Working collaboratively, we use proven, research-backed methods to make a measurable impact on community health and well-being.
