A Little Bit About Me

A writing practice built on depth, range, and genuine expertise

My writing background spans three distinct categories: research-informed content for professional audiences including clinicians and health practitioners; wellness writing drawing on my training and work as a certified holistic wellness coach; and literary creative writing — poetry, short fiction, and creative non-fiction.

Each category informs the others. The research discipline shaping my professional writing produces the same precision and grounding in my broader wellness content. The literary sensibility shaping my creative writing produces the same attention to voice, rhythm, and reader experience across all my work. 

The result is writing that's both factually reliable and genuinely readable; content that provides real value delivered in an engaging, accessible way.

Author of two books taking an honest look at life

When it comes to life's challenges, I'm not one to bury my head in the sand. I prefer to face things head-on with honesty, blending optimism with realism. And I believe self-awareness is essential as one seeks to understand and searches for solutions. My published books reflect this approach. 

My book Living Well draws on coaching principles, research, and my own lived experience to delve into self-discovery, meaningful connection, decision-making and lifelong growth, exploring these areas from different angles with clarity and accessibility.

My book Fragments of Self is a hybrid blend of prose, poems, short stories, and vignettes exploring the complexity of how we relate to ourselves and others.

Both books reflect the same commitment: honest engagement with the full range of human experience.

Additional Details 

  • My Social Work Today Magazine articles have been included in training content for the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Masters Exam and for acquiring social work continuing education credits. They have also been referenced in academic and industry publications internationally — reflecting the value of writing that is both well-researched and practically relevant.
  • I've held multiple roles during my decades of work in the community mental health sector: supportive housing intake, software implementation, data analysis, reporting, training, and coordination support on province-wide health reporting projects. That breadth of experience has given me firsthand insight into the ways people, systems, and technology intersect — a perspective that frequently informs my writing.
  • When I'm not writing professionally, I'm writing personally, with a journal writing practice that's been going strong for decades.
