Selected Works
A few books from my shelf
Over the years, I’ve published more than a hundred books across many forms, illustrated books, reflective texts, workbooks, and nonfiction guides.
I’m sharing a small selection here, not as a catalog, but as examples of what’s possible when an idea is given time, structure, and care.
Each of these books began as a quiet impulse, something lived, felt, or learned, before it ever became a finished work.
Illustrated Books
Some ideas want images as much as words.
Illustrated books allow emotion, symbolism, and meaning to travel through visual language as well as text.
These books explore themes such as presence, relationship, inner landscapes, and the spaces between words.
The Alchemy of Becoming
The Alchemy of Becoming is an illustrated journey through the quiet, unseen moments when a life begins to change.
Told with poetic simplicity and accompanied by rich, dreamlike artwork, this book traces the path from fragmentation to wholeness, from the first subtle crack you try to ignore, to the moment you realize you are not breaking, but becoming.
Through symbolic imagery and gentle, soul-reflective text, you are invited to explore:
-
the parts of yourself you were taught to hide
-
the stories that shaped your inner landscape
-
the beauty inside your most tender fractures
-
the quiet arrival of your own becoming
This is not a book about fixing yourself.
It is a companion for the deeper work of returning to yourself, learning to belong to your life again, and discovering the quiet power that emerges when you stop trying to heal and begin to create.
A soft, intimate guide for anyone standing at the edge of change or longing to.

Workbooks & Guided Journals
Workbooks invite participation.
They are meant to be written in, reflected with, and returned to over time.
My workbooks often support inner inquiry, emotional awareness, and lived integration rather than instruction or answers.
Alexithymia in Relationships
Alexithymia in Relationships has become one of my most popular books, touching thousands of people who are trying to understand emotional disconnection in themselves or in someone they love.
Because so many readers asked for a practical way to apply the insights, I created a 300-page guided workbook to go with it.
Alexithymia in Relationships, Workbook offers a hands-on path to recognizing emotions in the body, communicating without pressure, repairing misunderstandings gently, and building trust step by step.
It includes short teachings, guided reflection prompts, simple practices, and creative mapping pages, a structured, compassionate space to deepen connection in everyday life.
Both books work beautifully on their own, but together they create a powerful journey from understanding to transformation.
Inner Cartography
Inner Cartography is one of the foundations of my work — a way of mapping the invisible patterns, emotions, and inner landscapes that shape our lives. Because so many people resonated with the process, I created a 300-page guided workbook that brings the entire Inner Cartography framework to life.
The Inner Cartography Workbook gives you a practical, creative space to explore your emotional patterns, make sense of deeper experiences, and reconnect with your inner world.
It combines gentle teachings, guided reflection prompts, body-based awareness exercises, and spacious mapping pages where you can write, sketch, and visually trace the stories and signals inside you.
This workbook helps you slow down, recognize what your inner world is trying to say, and understand the patterns that influence your relationships, decisions, and sense of self.
It’s a companion for clarity, healing, and the quiet courage of getting to know yourself in a deeper way.
Reflective & Philosophical Books
Some books don’t teach, they listen.
They are written to be companion texts, offering language for experiences that are often felt but rarely named.
These books tend to be quieter, poetic, and open-ended.
Why People Are the Way They Are
Why People Are the Way They Are is a small, wise, and lightly humorous book that explains human behavior with compassion. In 33 short teachings, it reveals why people overreact, shut down, repeat old patterns, avoid honesty, and struggle with emotional life, not because they are broken, but because they are human.
It is a gentle guide to understanding others with more clarity and less frustration, written with warmth, insight, and the kind of humor that makes truth easier to hear.

Grief and Grace
Grief and Grace is a small, tender, and deeply reassuring book about walking through loss with softness rather than resistance. In twelve gentle steps, it offers a quiet way to sit with what hurts, breathe into what feels heavy, and rediscover the thin thread of meaning that grief never fully takes away.
It does not try to fix your pain.
It simply meets you where you are and offers a way to move through the ache without losing yourself in it.
It is a companion for the moments when the heart feels broken open, written with clarity, compassion, and the kind of wisdom that makes healing feel possible again.

Nonfiction Guides
Nonfiction guides hold clarity and structure.
They bring lived experience into a form that can be shared, applied, and returned to.
My nonfiction books often sit at the intersection of insight, technology, relationship, and self-understanding.
The Soft Side of Strong
How Independent Women Can Open to Love Without Losing Themselves
Are you a strong, independent woman who has spent years cultivating a life of self-reliance, only to find yourself longing for a deeper, more soulful connection? In The Soft Side of Strong: How Independent Women Can Open to Love Without Losing Themselves, you’ll discover a transformative roadmap for embracing genuine intimacy while honoring the autonomy you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
The Tyranny of Shoulds
From ‘must’ to ‘me’: redefine your life’s script
The Tyranny of Shoulds challenges everything you believed about self-improvement and daily life. In a world drowning in relentless expectations—from social media’s highlight reels to family traditions that weigh on your every move—it’s time to question why you keep telling yourself you “should” do this or that. Are these rules genuinely yours, or are they inherited scripts you never chose?
The Guest House of Love
The Ultimate Guide to Healing Relationships
What if your deepest relationship struggles aren't problems to solve, but messengers carrying the exact wisdom you need?
For too long, you've been told to "get over" your emotional pain, to push past childhood wounds and "just be happy." This approach has left you exhausted, disconnected, and wondering why authentic love remains elusive.
The Philosophy of Writing with AI
Finding Meaning in the Dance of Two Intelligences
In the silent space between human thought and written word, a revolution unfolds.
For thousands of years, writing has been our most intimate creative act, a solitary communion between mind and page. Now, artificial intelligence enters this sacred territory, not merely as tool but as collaborator, mirror, and window into unexplored realms of expression.
A Closing Note
These books came from different seasons of my life.
Different questions.
Different thresholds.
Yours will come from yours.
If you feel a book forming inside you, even faintly, it’s enough to begin.
