After writing across a diverse array of topic areas for nearly decades, I’ve honed my craft to the unique niche of writing at the intersection of psychology and craft. I use my Masters Degree in Psychology along with extensive research to explore how we can use art/craft/creativity to heal individuals and communities. I believe in the power of self-expression as a means to authenticity in our relationships with ourselves, our loved ones, and the greater world. I also recognize that mental health challenges, life circumstances and socio-economic issues can all impact creative process and productivity. I enjoy using my experience, education, and writing to help others explore this connection for themselves in order to live holistically well lives.
My work includes:
- Books that delve deep into this connection including Crochet Saved My Life, Hook to Heal and an upcoming title: The Artist’s Mind: The Creative Lives and Mental Health of Famous Artists
- Authoring magazine articles including 7+ years writing the monthly Crochet Heals column for Happily Hooked digital magazine
- Working in conjunction with therapists and psychologists to provide relevant blog content to assist their clients in understanding their own minds and how therapy can help them
- Blog and online article writing for dozens of different sites over the years, consistently honing my research and writing skills with attention to this niche. Examples include my content for Marly Bird, Interweave, Sartle, and Psych Central.
