For anyone who’s outgrown the life they once wanted.

I write about the quiet moments where life changes, often before we have the words for it.

My work explores identity, relationships, grief, healing, and the stories we tell ourselves as we move through endings and new beginnings. It’s less about answers, and more about noticing what feels true.

Like anyone who has an idea, it sits in drafts, or lives in your head until you actually do anything with it. I had spent years writing for other people and businesses, whether it was press releases, website copy, or interviews for magazines and online publications and I had always wanted to become a published author, more than anything. Everything would pass and I’d make a new commitment to do it and then I’d realize, almost years had passed and I still didn’t do it. It wasn’t until most recently I found myself questioning the direction of my life and where I wanted to go. Ultimately, I would regret it if I never did it and I just couldn’t live with that.

So, in October 2024 I hit the ground running. Hired a coach for support and be accountable to and by July 2025, I self-published my first novel, Feels Like Home.

Now, I’m working on my second book. Writing for me, is my release. Writing is how I make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. It’s how I process, reflect, and name the things we don’t always say out loud.

Available on Amazon and in Chapters Nanaimo (and slowly making it into other bookstores)

  • I just loved this book! The author has a way of making the character's experience so relatable.... I didn't want to put the book down! We need more books like this: books that encourage people to follow their internal compass (gut) and feel hope for healing from life's challenges.
