I am currently at work on a memoir that explores the tensions between faith, identity, family, fear, longing, and self acceptance. It is a deeply personal project, but it also connects to the work I do professionally.
As a healthcare provider, especially within LGBTQ health, I have seen how shame, silence, and disconnection can shape people’s lives long before they ever walk into an exam room. My writing is one way of making meaning of that reality. It is also one way of telling the truth.
This page will be a home for updates on the memoir, selected excerpts, reflections on the writing process, and future publication news.
