Not Alone
Not Alone: The Book Is Here!
If you’ve ever stood in the doorway—wondering if you’re truly allowed in, Not Alone offers relief.
We tend to think belonging comes from other people. But you can be surrounded by people, loved by people, included by people, and still feel like you don’t belong. Often without your knowing it, your body is scanning for danger, trying not to disappear, and carrying an unnamed ache as it waits to find out who it has to be to be accepted.
Not Alone names the profound inner shift that becomes possible when we stop leaving ourselves.Belonging is built from the inside, and when we learn the power of staying with ourselves and listening to the body, everything about connection begins to change.

Not Alone Workbook: The Staying Practice
Not Alone's Workbook is a companion to Not Alone, created to help you notice what your body may be holding, listen to the signals beneath familiar protective patterns, and practice staying with yourself in moments of disturbance.
Through simple reflection prompts, body-awareness exercises, and The Staying Practice, this workbook offers a gentle way to explore sensations, emotions, shrinking, anxiety, approval-seeking, release, and reorganization.
It is not about doing the process perfectly. It is about giving your truth somewhere to go—and learning, one moment at a time, that you do not have to leave yourself alone in what you feel.

My Music Story
"Music has been the longest thread of my creative life."
I’ve written alongside veteran hit writers, rising artists, and young prodigies just discovering their voice. The common thread is always the same: emotional truth.
- Some songs are meant for the stage.
- Some are meant for the church.
- Some are meant for the kitchen table with a friend who needs to hear they’re not alone.

The Songwriter's Guide
13 Royalties for Songwriters. Becoming a songwriter doesn't come with a manual for safeguarding your songs and ensuring you receive your rightful earnings. If you're an independent songwriter or self-released artist, chances are you're missing out on potential revenue.
My Art Story
"After getting laid off from my day job in 2008, I began my journey as a creative. I'm grateful for that turning point."
I spent 15 years in Pittsburgh as both an artist and an art instructor before moving to Nashville in 2013. These days, I'm a member of the Tennessee Watercolor Society. Formerly I was a part of the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society and the Pittsburgh Society of Artists.
Over the years, I've held independent art workshops and taught watercolor at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and the Community College of Allegheny County from 2009 to 2014. Since moving to Nashville, I've thrown myself into songwriting and music. But lately, I've found my way back to art, just for the fun of it!
