I'm a writer, musician, teacher, and mother. After a decade as a singer-songwriter ("the neo-Stevie Nicks" The New York Times), I earned my MFA from The Writer's Foundry in Brooklyn, NY. Most recently, I've been a frequent contributor to Suleika Jaouad's The Isolation Journals, with two essays and accompanying writing prompts (one co-written with my son, Lou) featured in The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life, alongside Elizabeth Gilbert, Sharon Salzberg, Gloria Steinem, and others. I've also written for Cup of Jo, Parents, and was a contributing writer at Departures. My newsletter, Resilience, is ranked in the Top 100 in Rising Culture on Substack.

I've been profiled on multiple platforms such as Allure's "Dispelling Beauty Myths" series (17M views), New York Family (cover story), Style Like U, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The Glow, Mother, and the podcast So, Life Wants You Dead. Tagged as "one of music's hippest chicks" alongside Florence & the Machine in Page Six, I was also named one of The Village Voice's most stylish New Yorkers, with critical acclaim in music outlets such as Magnet, Nylon, and Bust.

On a personal note, I'm a cancer mom, breast cancer survivor myself, and advocate. I'm also a Buddhist practitioner and student. I love lipstick, beautiful dresses, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Those things are important, too! A native New Yorker, I now live upstate in Tivoli, NY with my partner and twin sons. I'm working on my first book and new music, too — stay tuned.
