The more we talk about our brains, the more open we can all be about mental health, and the more we make emotional, honest connections with people who have dealt with mental illness. There’s enormous value being lost everyday because of a pervasive, debilitating silence towards mental health in our society. We can all benefit from smashing that silence.

I mix neuroscience and mental health research with personal stories of overcoming mental health challenges. I support each talk with humor, lots of energy, and clean, simple graphics. Each talk is tailored to the audience and has practical, actionable take-aways.
