I'm a writer, therapist and educator with an MPS in psychology and art therapy, based in Los Angeles and agented by Trident Media. I run creative writing, art therapy and school application essay workshops globally, and educate patients, families, and students privately as well. As a journalist and essayist, for over a decade, I've contributed heath, mental health, culture and travel features and essays to The New York Times, National Geographic, Travel + Leisure, The Washington Post, PBS, The Wall Street Journal, Offspring, GoodHouskeeping, and Parents, among other outlets.
Last May, 2024, in partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center oncologists and other experts, Empowering Women Living with Cancer, I was invited to speak about the notable therapeutic benefits of creative outlets for patients and families, from journaling and writing, to doodling, drawing, painting and more, based on my clinical experience working at Sloan Kettering bedside as an art therapist and graduate research, which I won an award for excellence for, from The School of Visual Arts in New York City, and a grant.

In addition to feature articles and essays, I have written and edited content for non-profits including Yale School of Medicine, Points of Light, and The Children's Health Fund as well as a range of health-tech companies. From 2012 to 2016, I wrote several hundred articles for CafeMom, generating engaging content on parenting, health and human development. I've also published short fiction in literary journals. My debut novel, set on a fictional island in the Mediterranean overrun by wild goats, is currently on submission.
