Welcome, friend, I’m so glad you’re here.
with heart and pen was created as a gentle space for reflection, creativity, and emotional growth – a place where words become a bridge between your inner world and your outer life.
I’m a counselor-in-training, a poetry therapist-in-training, and a writer who believes in the power of creativity to heal, connect, and inspire. I’ve seen how expressive writing and art can help people to discover calm, courage, and self-understanding.
This space was born from the belief that every heart holds stories worth writing and that through words, we can learn to listen to ourselves and to each other.

My Philosophy
Creativity isn’t just about making art, it’s about making meaning. Writing and reflection help us notice what’s true, name what matters, and nurture who we’re becoming.
Through with heart and pen, I hope to help you:
- slow down
- reconnect with your inner self
