About the Author
I am a survivor, mother, poet, and advocate for women rebuilding their lives after abuse. Through my writing, I give voice to the pain, strength, and truth many carry in silence.
I am working on my first poetry collection
Healing is not easy
Healing is not fast
Healing is chaotic with 2 steps forwards and some days it feels like 5 steps backwards.
Some days it feels like you are drowning in memories and sadness and pain and guilt and shame.
Some days you will feel like you can breathe again for the first time in years and feel like anything is possible.
This website and my poems are not a declaration of being healed — it’s proof that I chose to try.
If you are on your own journey, I want to remind you:
- You do not have to be perfect to be healing.
- You do not have to be loud to be powerful.
- There is power in your voice – do not let the silence win.
- You do not have to do it all alone.
- Every journey begins with a single step.
Let this website and my blogs share a little of my journey. It is a map of my survival – sharing moments of trauma, rage and healing.
You are allowed to rewrite your ending.
And if all you can do today is survive — that is more than enough.
With love and solidarity,
