I work with writers crafting narratives about health, trauma, mental illness, faith, and institutional failure—helping you develop manuscripts that honor complexity while connecting with readers.

MY APPROACH

I help you clarify what you're actually trying to say, develop craft that serves your specific story, navigate ethical challenges of writing about trauma and other people, and connect with readers while maintaining boundaries. Writing is a spiritual process that requires trusting your instincts in a culture that teaches us to defer to institutions and authority. I support writers at all stages—from early concept through publication.
