Even as a child, my mind burned with questions and my imagination wove entire worlds from shadows and whispered truths. I learned early that stories have power—not just to entertain, but to transform, to heal, to carry the weight of legacy.
As a young storyteller, I conjured myths and heroes, writing my way through the edges of my own intensity. Over time, this impulse became a calling, a quiet revolution. I began to see that stories are more than words on a page—they are a way to honor our past, make sense of our present, and call forth our future.

My professional path has always mirrored
this deep creative pulse.
As a licensed educational psychologist, I spent years studying the intersection of emotion, intensity, and human potential. My first book, Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students, gave voice to the often overwhelming inner lives of gifted children and their families, offering practical support and deep validation for those who live in extremes. That book opened the door to speaking, consulting, and guiding others through the complexities of emotional intensity—a journey that has only deepened my understanding of human nature and creative potential.
In the years since, my work has evolved, moving from the clinical to the creative, from the analytical to the embodied. Today, I guide writers, artists, and deep-feeling humans as they reclaim their creative fire, honor their voice, and craft their legacy. My approach blends old-world wisdom with somatic awareness, creating spaces where language, memory, and truth converge.

My creative works span both nonfiction and fiction, inviting readers to explore the depths of human experience, emotional clarity, and the body’s innate wisdom. The nonfiction collection includes Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students, 101 Success Secrets for Gifted Kids, and Healing the Heart: Helping Your Child Thrive After Trauma, while the fiction dives into the rich, often untamed terrain of myth, memory, and human nature. My latest work, Write Through: Feeling Your Way to the Page, offers a somatic approach to creative expression, blending mindfulness, body-based awareness, and deep emotional presence.
Across fiction and nonfiction, on the page and in the room, I turn emotional intensity into artistry, inner wisdom into impact,
and truth into lasting transformation.
I am here to witness. To ignite.
To call you all the way back to yourself.
