Welcome to my website. I’m a lawyer-turned-writer. In addition to my blog Roughly Speaking, I have written articles and essays for The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Self, Yoga Journal, USA Weekend, and Writer's Digest, among other publications. I’m a regular contributor to Whole Life Times, and I blog about books for Lime.com. My essays have also appeared as commentaries on public radio. While you’re browsing, you can view samples of my articles, check out my services page, or visit the writer’s retreat. You can also learn more about me or send me an e-mail.

In Bird by Bird, Anne Lamott talks about how people can be soothed by writing. She says, “Think of how many times you have opened a book, read one line, and said ‘yes!’” That’s my prayer – that my writing will bestow the gift of “yes!”
