Who I Am
I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW), Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), co-author and co-editor of multiple books and guided journals, and the Director of the International Association for Journal Writing (IAJW.org) — a global community dedicated to personal growth, creativity, and wellness through writing individually and together.
My work blends lived experience, professional practice, and research-informed approaches to writing for well-being, burnout prevention, personal development, and resilience.
I’ve had the privilege of speaking to and working with educators, helping and healthcare professionals, coaches, therapists, community organizations, and journal writers around the world.
What I Offer

Inspiring, experiential talks that invite reflection, insight, and growth. Audiences leave feeling grounded, energized, and replenished.
Workshops & Trainings
Interactive journaling experiences focused on well-being, resilience, healing, self-compassion, and growth-designed for workplaces, conferences, and community groups.
Books & Journals
Thoughtfully crafted books and journals that offer inspiration, gentle structure, powerful prompts, and supportive guidance for going to the page to live well and navigate life’s complexities.
