hello
I’m J Grae
Writer ~ Psychologist
I have always been drawn to two things: stories, and the people who live them. Writing became the way I make sense of the world, and psychology became the way I make sense of us.
This site brings those two worlds together. Here I share essays, short fiction and reflections on writing, reading and the inner life, along with the projects I am working on.
Thank you for being here. I hope something you read stays with you.
Three threads
The Writer
Stories, essays and the craft of putting feelings into words.
The Psychologist
Curious, compassionate notes on how we think, feel and grow.
The Reader
Books that stayed with me, and the thoughts they left behind.
