Writer & Journalist

Creator of the mother prescription
Literary Memoirist

I’m an MFA in Writing and communications professional with 15+ years of experience in journalism, publishing, and content development and 20+ in creative writing. A STAT News and HuffPost contributor, I write a column for Psychology Today on serious mental illness and reproductive life, “The Lives We Don’t See.” I began my career as a daily newspaper staff writer, later serving as a magazine managing editor and earning a Michigan Press Association Award for my reporting.

My creative writing has been supported by the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and appeared in major literary journals like Brevity and Third Coast Magazine. I’m currently seeking representation for a literary memoir about psychosis and motherhood. I’m also the creator of the mother prescription, an emerging journalism and storytelling platform at the intersection of serious mental illness and motherhood.

I produce high-quality journalism, storytelling, and conversations that transcend preconception to make maternal mental health legible to broad audiences. I'm available for partnerships with health systems, universities, advocacy or professional organizations, and media outlets, among others, for collaborations on journalism, storytelling, community conversations, and educational content.

When not writing, I can be found boxing, lifting weights, or cooking and baking—and never, ever measuring spices. For more of my story, listen to my recent interview below on Tony Mentor’s podcast, Why Not Me?, rated #4 in Mental Health on Apple Podcasts.
