Evil At Our Table: Inside the Minds of the Monsters Who Live Among Us
Part forensics, part exploration of human nature, Evil at Our Table is the first in-depth account by a treatment provider and expert conducting evaluations under the Sexually Violent Predator Law. Here, I not only reveal the details of specific cases—and the outcomes—but also delve into the sometimes-overwhelming impact on my heart, mind, core beliefs, and personal life.

The Sharp Blade of Grace
While our stories may all be different, no one goes through life without times when life sucks the wind completely out of us–when we are exiled from ourselves and/or our lives as we know it–leaving us devastated and powerless. It’s just how life is. Naturally, many of us want to see how other people survive this Dark Night of the Soul, and even how to grow from it. We want to believe that there must be some gifts in the devastation, somewhere, if we just mine for them. Perhaps, even, we can be gifted something spiritual and essential to ourselves. This book is my version (and it’s not nearly as heavy as it sounds). (in progress)
Atlas of the Uncharted
There’s no map to living a truly authentic life—we are handed maps for the roles we step into but they can never be truly tailored for us. Similar to many, I’ve stepped into many roles—psychologist, artist, writer, partner, parent, child—but my life never fully encompassed all of who I am. So, in the wake of some major life changes, I promise myself to forgo well-worn societal paths and instead forge my own. No matter what. Because while I don’t know what the end point will look like, I know to survive (and thrive) as a unique human depends on it. (in progress)
