Howdy, I’m Jaclynn.

I write about the wonderfully weird experience of being human.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I’m endlessly fascinated by the things we hide, the stories we tell ourselves, and the strange ways our brains try to keep us safe (even when they’re making a spectacular mess of things).

My writing starts on the inside of an experience. I like putting words to feelings that usually come out as, “Ugh… I don’t know, it’s just… this.” Through storytelling, humor, and psychological insight, I try to make messy emotional experiences feel a little more understandable, a little more practical, and a lot less lonely.

If you’re looking for a writer, a speaker, or someone happy to spend an unreasonable amount of time wondering why humans do the things we do, I’m glad you found your way here.

Love,
Jaclynn
