​​A major thread in my life is a search for healing through storytelling.

 

I've pursued this end as an Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, a science journalist, a mental health advocate, and as a published author of a memoir and a novel. 

​

My focus now is on teaching other writers, with an approach that differs from traditional writing programs. The workshops I offer combine emotional support for integrating shadow parts of ourselves with literary craft to help writers find and tell deeply personal stories, often  centering childhood trauma. Writers who've taken my workshops have gone on to publish their stories in a variety of literary genres, including: memoir, autofiction, a stage play, or as a self-help narrative.

 

If this approach interests you, I invite you to consider joining one of my classes, described below. I also work one-on-one with writers. Please email me if you'd like to discuss your current situation and/or a work-in-progress. 

​

This is storytelling as a path to healing, both for you as an author, and, ultimately, for your readers.
