Discover Your Family's Stories--
and Tell Your Own

The stories we tell ourselves about who we are—what we can and can't do, what's possible for us—are shaped by those who came before us. Sometimes we don't even realize how deeply our family's past influences our present.

I help people discover their family history and share their stories through written narratives and storytelling. In the process, I support more empowered, constructive intergenerational identity.

Whether you're just beginning your family history journey or you're ready to transform your research into meaningful stories, I'm here to guide you with practical strategies and encouragement.
