Greetings!  Thanks for checking out my profile! 

I write for the same reasons I became a psychologist-to discover life's hidden truths from the inside out. I have a soft-spot for the beaten-but-not-broken, and a knack for finding strengths hidden behind seeming weakness.  As a psychologist, I have worked in a busy emergency room, treated combat veterans, delved deep into neuroscience, and been on the front lines of substance abuse and suicide prevention. As a writer, I distill such experiences down to their essence-creating tales of the wounded finding the resolve to navigate a world full of sharp edges. Vanishing Places is my first novel.
