Author Editor Therapist
Welcome
Perhaps I missed my calling as a milliner, with all the hats I wear: author of the award-winning mindfulness-themed picture book Charlotte and the Quiet Place and the Sober Starting Today Workbook, essayist, writing coach, editor, proofreader, GrubStreet instructor. In addition, I'm a mindfulness therapist with a small private practice. I enjoy the variety and am glad you stopped by. Feel free to explore these pages and contact me if you would like to know more.
