Writing

Long before I could afford therapy, writing (and reading) was the way that I understood and processed emotions. I can’t tell you the number of times I read something in a book and went “Damn! That’s exactly what’s happening to me!” And even now that I can afford therapy, writing is still my first line of defense. I seek connection through the written word—to imagine hope, to remember freedom, and to invite change.

My goal as a writer is to share with you my perspective; to weave a tapestry of my own thoughts so that you might experience, even for a moment, something outside yourself. I offer myself through my words in the hopes that someone else might recognize themselves in my story.
