Books
I am thrilled to have my writing included in this moving anthology. The pieces in this collection were created during We See You, We Hear You, a monthly program offered through storysummit.us that provides women the opportunity to explore their writing in a safe and supportive space.
Readers will find inspiration and healing through the collection of voices on these pages.

It is an extraordinary honor to be witness to the healing power of the creative arts and its ability to connect people with their truths.
Many years ago, while earning my Master's Degree in Drama Therapy from New York University, I picked up a pen and started writing my stories and truths — and haven't stopped.
I have written two non-fiction books (currently unpublished) with many more in the works, and I blogged at ibutterfly.me for three years. All my writing, whether personal memoir or creative non-fiction, explores the transformative power of the creative process.
I have led workshops utilizing drama, art, movement, and writing at various hospitals, schools, day-treatment centers, and organizations in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area.
My passion is to inspire others to live their best life through utilizing creativity as a path to joy, self-awareness, and healing.
