When you don’t know what you’re doing, ask the pros.
Even though “When you don’t know what you’re doing, ask the pros” is the title of this blog, it is really a summation of the process of writing this book. You’ve heard me say/read my statement that I don’t consider myself an author (slowly trying to change that thought) but I’ll explain how this book came …
Dreaming of my book- literally.
Raise your hand if you’ve ever had an anxiety based dream. One of those dreams were (despite the fact that you graduated two years ago, in real life) you get a letter from the registrar’s office saying that you have been absent to a class that you never remembered signing up for. Due to the …
Dating after 8 years of wedded bliss…

Putting PTSD on paper
Introductory posts are so cliché, but here I go…. I’m working on my first book (and possibly my last book). I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker by day (basically, a therapist) and I work with a LOT of Service Members with PTSD. I even have another blog about it (shameless self promotion!) and you can …
