For a long time, I didn’t understand what I was living with.

​

I carried depression, shutdown, and exhaustion in cycles that never fully made sense. What I now recognize as grief was treated as pathology. I was misdiagnosed at a time when emotional neglect and developmental trauma were rarely part of the conversation. No one was asking what might have been missing — only what appeared to be “wrong.”

​

So I spent many years believing I was broken.

​

It never occurred to me that absence could be traumatic. That a person could be cared for in practical ways and still grow up emotionally alone. That you could have no dramatic story to point to — no obvious event — and still carry the impact for decades.

​

This is why I write about emotional neglect.

​

My work is for people who have lived with patterns they couldn’t fully explain: low self-worth, over-responsibility, emotional shutdown, self-blame, the feeling that you have to handle everything alone. It offers context — the kind that makes long-standing patterns intelligible rather than personal failures.

​

Across my books and my work with the Akashic Records, the intention is the same: clarity, recognition, and understanding — offered without pressure or judgment.

​

If you’re here out of curiosity, quiet wondering, or a sense that something essential may have been missing, you’re in the right place.
