Her short stories have been published in literary journals such as Tulane Review, Serving House Journal, Mom Egg Review, Willow Review, and Turk’s Head Review, and in an anthology entitled SISTERS BORN, SISTERS FOUND (Wordforest Press, 2015). She received the Willow Review Fiction Award and the Writer’s Relief Peter K. Hixson Wild Card/Fiction Award for selections from her debut novel, ECHOED IN MY BONES, a story inspired by her work as an inner-city psychotherapist. She has degrees from Barnard College and New York University School of Social Work, and is now has a private practice in Springfield, New Jersey where she specializes in Couples Therapy. In 2012, a client on her deathbed made a final request. She asked Sturm to "bring more love into the world." Echoed in My Bones is part of her commitment to do just that.
