A Little Bit About Me

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

My writing background spans three distinct registers: research-informed content for professional audiences including licensed social workers and community health practitioners; personal development and wellness writing drawing on my training and work as a certified coach; and literary creative writing — poetry, short fiction, and creative non-fiction — published in book form.

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

The result is writing that's both analytically grounded and genuinely readable; content that holds up to scrutiny and holds the reader's attention.

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 philosophy. 

Living Well draws on coaching principles and research to explore decision-making, meaningful connection, and personal growth with the same clarity and accessibility I bring to all my writing.

Fragments of Self is a creatively ambitious hybrid collection of personal essays, poems, short stories, and vignettes exploring the complexity of human relatedness with oneself and others.

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