Award-winning author, podcaster, motivational speaker, and life-long spiritual seeker. A native New Yorker turned Coloradan, I blend street smarts with tree hugging for a sensible and spiritual approach to love and loss.

Co-founder of the nonprofit organization, Castle Rock Clubhouse, a recovery clubhouse providing meeting space for various 12-step programs, I’m passionate about sobriety, meditation, and connecting with others on a deep and meaningful level. Through my commitment to climate action, I hold the spirit of loving-kindness, faithful perseverance, and compassionate service in high regard. A lover of horses, running, drumming, vegan eating, and dancing, I also enjoy singing with abandon to loud rock music, sometimes while driving a little too fast!

I hold a bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Albany in English and journalism and a master’s degree in social work from Stony Brook University, New York. Nevertheless, life has been my greatest teacher by far.

I live in beautiful Castle Rock, Colorado with my amazing family and pup, Dolly.

Trust Yourself to Be All In is my debut inspirational memoir, and I’m so excited to take you on a healing journey!
