What if Becoming is less about changing who you are- and more about coming home to yourself? Drawing on my lived experience with near-death anorexia, late-identified autism, and spirituality, I help women transform adversity into growth through self-understanding, acceptance, inner joy, purpose, and the healing power of radical self-love.
My Story
At 43, I stood on the brink of death from anorexia nervosa- my body shutting down, my voice silenced, and everyone around me convinced I was dying of Crohn’s disease. The truth was more devastating: I was starving to death in plain sight.
Unaware of the autistic architecture of my mind, I moved through life feeling like a defective human product- faulty DNA Mickey Moused together into some unclassified space junk floating about in the ether, belonging nowhere. A glitch in the matrix.
Author
I operated on liminalities of energy squeezeage, the verges of the last drop- struggling to meet societal expectations. Every peopling encounter blew up my transformer and left me devoid of juice, in an eternal state of power outage. I could never understand why the smallest of things required so much elbow grease from me. I navigated the everyday with sensory faculties cranked to a hundred, like an exposed nerve.
From the Blog
Writing has been another way for me to make sense of the experiences that have shaped my life. My work explores identity, healing, autism, eating disorders, spirituality, love, and the complicated process of becoming more fully oneself. I hope that my writing can provide knowledge, understanding and inspiration to whomever needs it.

Singer-Songwriter
Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Songwriting gives me a place to explore the things that are sometimes difficult to put into ordinary words: Identity, connection, loss, healing, love, and the experience of becoming more fully myself.
