ABOUT ME
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been practicing therapy for the past two decades, working in a variety of settings. Currently, I see clients through my private practice, primarily women navigating significant life transitions, relationships, and identity.
I write fiction, short stories, and personal essays, and I previously published articles in the wellness space. My writing explores themes of feminism, motherhood, midlife, relationships, and climate change. My favorite genres are contemporary and literary fiction, women's fiction, weird girl lit, memoir, and poetry. I'm currently writing my first novel and am enrolled in StoryStudio Chicago's Novel in a Year program with Lindsay Hunter.
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I live in Northern Indiana near the Michigan border with my daughters, partner, our Golden Retriever, Penny, and our orange tabby, Katie.
