I’m a writer in the Pacific Northwest, taking a pause from clinical practice to explore the model that has shaped so much of my thinking. I write to understand how people become themselves, how identity shifts, and how meaning is made in the quiet spaces between experiences. My articles are part reflection, part inquiry — a way of letting the model breathe on the page rather than holding it as a fixed theory. Right now, I’m working on a presentation for a diversity conference, extending this same curiosity into a new setting.
