Stories worth telling. Conversations worth having.

Where psychology meets real life — on the page, and someday soon, in the room.

The memoir

Taking Off the Uniform

A memoir in progress exploring military family life, marriage, transition, and rebuilding — what it means to start over when the structure you’ve known suddenly changes, and who you become on the other side.

It isn’t published yet — it’s being written, one honest chapter at a time, with a hoped-for release in 2027.

more to come, promise.

Articles & essays

Accessible psychology, honest reflections.

Practical insights on positive psychology, behavior change, parenting, relationships, and life transitions — written for curious humans, not textbooks.

Speaking & workshops

A future stage, taking shape.

Talks and workshops are something I’m building toward. Topics I’m developing include:

  • Behavior change that actually sticks
  • Neurodivergent parenting, through a strengths lens
  • Relationships under pressure
  • Resilience in transition

Speaking isn’t open for booking yet. If you’re planning something down the road and would like to stay in touch, I’d love to hear about it.
