I’m a memoirist and psychotherapist in Boston. My debut memoir, If You Must Go, I Wish You Triplets, examines emotional inheritance, marriage, and what it means to begin again in one’s 60s. The book has been featured in The New York Times’ “Modern Love,” Vulture, and HuffPost, and has become one of the top-ranked divorce titles on Amazon.
I’m also the author of the novel As If Women Mattered, inspired by the exhilaration and upheaval of the women’s movement. My essays have appeared in the Iowa Review, The Writer, HuffPost, and other publications. I’m currently at work on The Shape of Later, a memoir about aging, identity, and the courage it takes to rewrite the stories we inherit.
