My interest in finding and expressing meaning derives from many places. Along with my master’s degree in counseling psychology, my undergraduate education is in English literature, philosophy, and journalism. From this formal education, I grew my mind around story, meaning, and the collective ways we as a human race work to make sense of our lives. My curiosity, unconventional thinking, and thematic tracking all shape my posture and energy as both a therapist and a writer.

Writing found me just as quickly as reading. As my thirst for knowing captured me, my desire to process and compile my own thoughts felt just as rapturous. While starting out with journaling and academic writing, my interest has grown into poetry, fiction, and most affectionately, mixed media, a combination of all. Much of my writing is for my own exploration, clarification, and emotional expression. Sometimes, I move to publish it beyond the self, as a creative act of empowerment and to contribute to the collective wisdom of which every soul has something to offer.

A writing mantra of mine is to write for power not importance. No matter if something has been said before, can someone feel it when they read my work? I hope you can.
