I am a psychotherapist at the Cambridge Therapy Center and teach at Lesley University. My current work revolves around understanding core topics in psychology – such as addiction, therapy, and mental health – from a broadly philosophical perspective. My book The Disabled Will: A Theory of Addiction (Routledge, 2024) defends the view that addiction is a disability and demands a new kind of treatment.
