About
Willa’s journalism has attracted the attention of leading psychiatrists who worked on the DSM-5. She blogs, appears on podcasts, and does trainings and presentations. She has spoken to National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) chapters, medical students, community groups, professional organizations, camp counselors, and writers. Topics have included diagnosis and misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder, the process of recovery, the brain science of stress and selfcare, suicide prevention, and the intersection of faith, spirituality, and mental illness. Humor is an essential element in every one of her presentations.
Prozac Monologues is the first of Willa’s books. She has a few more in the pipeline including a travel memoir about Costa Rica and a daily devotional for people with mental health issues.
Willa now lives in County Kerry, Ireland where she and her wife serve in the Church of Ireland. They hike, travel, and enjoy cooking and eating good food. They still miss their dog, Mazie.
You can find Willa online on Substack, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
