Whether you have written all your life or are just embarking on your writing journey, I take joy in helping others not only hone their craft to tell their story in the most compelling way possible, while also holding space for the emotions that inevitably arise when confronting the past.

Transforming memory onto the page is a great act of service to others.
Writing a book has all the elements of the birth cycle: conception, gestation, check-ups, research, breathing, nausea, and delivery. The process is the same and yet the experience is different for everyone, for every book. From the initial stages to the end game, I will support you throughout the life of your project.
