Knockoff
Here I tell a story of my family’s acquisition of not one but two dream homes in California in the 1970s, a time during which we were clearly living — and loving — beyond our means.

Dream House
Have you ever felt lost and, worse than that, deliberately led astray? It’s a bad feeling. Especially when you’re paying for the privilege. Here I tell the story of my 14 years exploring the mysterious, serpentine corridors of psychoanalysis — and what happened when I declared my intention to leave therapy.
Misfit
Some of us are more awkward than others. I told this tale of paralyzing social phobia and the search for friendship at college at the Hartford, CT storytelling show “Speak Up” over the weekend. There was an unintended consequence, but a happy one, as a result.
Two Nails
After reading about the science of happiness, my perception of what it means to replace a medicine cabinet is forever altered. I performed this on Monday, August 12 at Happy Hour Storytelling at UCB East.
The Rock Stars Next Door
Travel back in time with me to 1972. I’m a seven-year-old girl in Marin County, California. My family is newly settled in the States after a long stint of living in Vietnam. We’re living in a beautiful house, but there’s a growing tension in the air. Our next door neighbors are rock stars. And I’m being gently led toward one of life’s harder truths by one of them.
Sex on the Beach
This is a new story I’ve been wanting to take out for a spin. It is part of a set of three stories that I’m working on that are all loosely connected around the theme of “public sex.” I guess you could say I’m spreading my, er, wings. I performed this at Tell It: Brooklyn.
