AUTHOR-PSYCHOLOGIST
I write Mindful Romance: stories for teen and adult readers about family, first love and the beautiful complexity of becoming who we are.
I've been on both sides of the couch and I know what it's like to doubt yourself. What I've learnt is that self-doubt doesn't mean you're broken. It's where self-trust begins.
My hope is that these stories and rituals help you trust what comes up within you so you can be the author of your own becoming.
