the misfit west began as a place to set down the stories that refused to be quiet. it’s a place for essays carved out of wind, rupture, high-plains hush, and the long afterlife of family. i write from the edges: geographical, emotional, ancestral.
about the writing
here you’ll find dispatches from the high plains. personal essays on grief, estrangement, inheritance, recovery, and the strange grace of beginning again. writing that doesn’t chase resolution, only honesty.
about the writer
i’m a therapist by training and a writer by instinct.
my work is rooted in lived experience. grief, survival, the long crawl back to myself in a stubborn affection for the west that raised me. othe misfit west is where the fragments find their form.
