Helping people become more fully human

There's more to being human than surviving

Writing at the intersection of trauma, faith, and psychology, for people learning to live inside the questions rather than rush past them.

Where Psychology and Faith Meet

Keynotes, workshops, retreats, and guest sermons

I’m available to speak to professional audiences on trauma-informed care, moral injury, and burnout, and to churches on suffering, attachment, and faith that survives disappointment. Different rooms, same question: what does it take to become more fully human?

Current Project

The Way Back: Trauma, Psalm 23, and Rediscovering Joy When Faith Falls Apart

Through personal story, biblical reflection, and insights from psychology, The Way Back explores Psalm 23 as an invitation for those navigating trauma, shattered assumptions, and the slow rediscovery of joy. 

Currently seeking literary representation.
