A Global Storyteller

My novels explore the lives of ordinary people touched by the extraordinary - stories of transformation and hope, of unexpected journeys that emerge when we step beyond our fears and embrace possibility. I’m drawn to the beauty and healing mystery hidden within day to day life and the wisdom that often results. 

I began writing around the same time I became a licensed clinician. At first, writing was a form of self-therapy—a private refuge where I could process my own experiences and find creative release. But over time, it grew into something far greater than an outlet. Writing took on a life of its own and ultimately led me to a second calling as a novelist.

Through my novels, I have had the privilege of connecting with readers from around the world and meeting many of them in person. For me, the roles of therapist and novelist are deeply intertwined, each enriching the other in meaningful ways. Stories have the power to transform us. They invite us to reflect, to see ourselves more clearly, and to discover new possibilities within our lives. When stories resonate with beauty and truth, they can change not only how we see ourselves, but also how we engage with the world around us.

For me, therapy and writing are part of the same lifelong journey: an endless exploration of self-discovery, healing, and hope.

My upcoming novel, Stronger Than Fear, set in Cuba, is scheduled for release in 2026/27. I am based in Los Angeles, California.
