The Grapevine

I'm a blogger, music educator, and writer who loves to talk about adaptive piano teaching, creative teaching approaches, and community. Subscribe and join over 1,000+ newsletter readers every week!

Hi! I'm a writer, editor, and writing coach. I help writers of fiction and non-fiction find their voice on the page and make their manuscripts better. I'm also a translator, language learner, and an estranged puppeteer & performer. I love sharing stories across borders of geography and form, and I love looking at what we can learn about writing from other arts & disciplines.

After navigating burnout in my 20s and panic attacks in my 30s, I've seen what happens when you ignore what matters most. I'm a pastor, author, and speaker who loves to help people transform difficult circumstances into places where they can thrive. My weekly newsletter and digital products help you experience spiritual growth, emotional health, and stronger relationships.
