I reside in North Carolina with my husband and our daughter.
My writing is a blend of self-help, memoir, and essay style. I am an avid reader and big believer in personal therapy and couple’s therapy and will be drawing from all of these teachings as I dig deeper alongside you with the work of someday today.
why me? why this?
Someday today is a dream I’ve had for a while now. It’s been my second beating heart aching for a home.
There have been so many times in my life when I desperately needed someone to talk to or someone to just listen.
Talking to family always came with worry, talking to friends came with judgment, talking to a therapist was expensive, talking to my significant other didn’t always feel safe, and not talking at all was debilitating.
I wanted sound, unbiased advice about my life or situation and had nowhere to turn that didn’t involve losing more connections or bringing on more questions.
I know what it’s like to bury questions and fears about your life because bringing them to the surface feels far too dangerous — for everyone around you and maybe even for yourself. I know what it’s like to ache for connection and the feeling of being truly understood.
That’s why I built someday today.
To be the unbiased confidant that I needed (and still need).
The one that will tell me what I probably already know to be true, but don’t want to admit or act on.
The one that will tell me when I’m being stupid, petty, and fearful.
The one that will kick my ass when I don’t want to kick my own.
The one that will validate me when no one else seems to be listening.
In my case, I needed a stranger to tell me the truth. No bias. No connection to my life. No relation to my family. Just the cold, hard truth as it was meant to be told in its entirety.
That’s why I’m here. To be that for you.
To go through the self-discovery, messy middle, and moments of clarity — together.

I have to be learning and reading others’ stories to gain a better vantage point of my own world. Lately, I’ve been interested in a mix of psychology, essay style, and parenting.
