I’m the founder of Mindwriters, a workshop series that uses storytelling to help participants address challenges in a new way and transform their perspectives about themselves and the world.

Mindwriters workshops are lively and interactive, and can be tailored to any group environment, be it a company retreat, a recovery center, or a private event. Sessions involve ample time for guided writing exercises and shared reflections, and are grounded in narrative therapy principles—an emerging technique that focuses on re-interpreting our lived experiences in order to rewrite our internal stories.

To help inform the development of Mindwriters, I spent a year studying narrative therapy at the Evanston Family Therapy Center.
