Writing Workshops & Circles
Research has proven that writing can be a catalyst along a healing journey. In Writing as a Way of Healing: How Telling Our Stories Transforms Our Lives, Louise DeSalvo says, writing helps us to uncover the “wholeness of things,” including within ourselves, and connects us to human experience.
My workshops & circles have that as their core.

I have an MFA in Creative Writing from Hamline University in St. Paul, MN & teach writing at Pine Technical & Community College & facilitate workshops and circles through Pine Center for the Arts as well as other community organizations.
I am not a trained mental health professional & though the offerings here have a therapeutic focus, they are not substitutes for therapy. Trauma survivors are encouraged to seek professional support.
