Written Works

Reading is a passion. As a child, I could have easily been called a bookworm, carrying a book or three with me wherever I went, reading series and classics. Roald Dahl was one of my favorite childhood authors. As a young adult, I focused more on non-fiction books because there is simply so much to learn in this world. I continue to read on a variety of topics; I am regularly reading half a dozen non-fiction books at a time.

It’s Not About You

In 2015, in conjunction with Entourage Publishing, I organized a wonderful group of adoption therapists, adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents to write It’s Not About You: Understanding Adoptee Search, Reunion & Open Adoption.

Adoption Therapy

I was honored to be asked to contribute to Adoption Therapy: Perspectives from Clients and Clinicians on Processing and Healing Post-Adoption Issues (2014) as the only contributing author who is not also an adoptee.

Therapeutic Workbooks for Kids

When I stumbled across an old project I created for a client called “The Bully Book”, I sought the guidance of Entourage Publishing regarding best practices to make an e-book or a downloadable PDF so more kids could benefit from what we had created; I was surprised that not only did she want to publish The Bully Book: A Workbook for Kids Coping with Bullies (2016) as an e-book and a paperback, but that she also wanted me to create a series of therapeutic workbooks for kids.

Additional Written Works

In addition to these books, I have been blogging for various platforms since 2008 when I was hired as the Mental Health Expert Contributor by DietsInReview, which was named one of the Top 50 Healthy Bloggers by Mamavation in 2013. I have also been published by MSNBC, Today, TraineoPLUS, Current.com, Reuters.com, the Chicago Sun Times, the International Business Times, Health Bubble, Yahoo Buzz, Adoption Today, Expert Beacon, iVillage, and more.
