About Me

I'm tired of grocery-list journal entries and doodling during boring lectures. I think it's fitting that I'm starting in spring, because creative writing and art is a lot like gardening to me, it's messy and dirty and even if dandelions grow out of it, it is still worthwhile and always a beautiful process. I'm interested in creative ventures and how I will implement them in my own life and in my counseling practice.

When you open your eyes underwater, do you ever worry that you'll drown?
