Welcome to a place of calm and understanding. Here, surrounded by the whispers of Wisconsin’s North Woods, we find a sense of belonging. Life isn’t always easy, and for many of us, the path has been hard. I know that journey well—navigating mental illness, deep trauma, and finding my way back to hope.

Thank you for your patience as my website is being created.

My Story

Every journey has a beginning, and mine started in the shadows of deep trauma and silent battles. Growing up, life wasn’t easy. I faced a storm of challenges, including the relentless weight of severe childhood trauma and the mental illnesses that followed—bipolar disorder, PTSD, and dissociative identity disorder. It felt like my story was written for me, with a script of pain, confusion, and hopelessness.

But scripts can be rewritten.

I reached a point where I realized my mental health struggles were pulling me under, threatening to end my story far too soon. So I made a choice: to live the second half of my life in a way that contrasted sharply with the first. I began a journey inward, searching for the strength buried deep within me, determined to find peace and a path to healing.

Through writing, I’ve found a way to share the lessons I’ve learned, the pain I’ve overcome, and the hope I’ve discovered. My poetry and stories reflect this path—a journey of breaking through the impossible and choosing to live, love, and be present. Today, I am dedicated to shedding light on mental health and showing that recovery is not only possible but within reach for each of us. Whether it’s striving to be the best parent, friend, or the healthiest version of yourself, I’m here to remind you that you are never alone.

This is my story. A story of transformation, resilience, and the belief that even in the darkest times, there is light waiting to be found.
