Transformative Poetry

I began writing over 30 years ago—born from the need to give voice to what I couldn't yet say out loud. Through the storms of a challenging life, writing became my anchor, a sacred space where trauma could breathe and pain could begin to soften into something more whole. Many poems from that profound period evolved into lyrical songs, leading me to collaborate with talented musicians who brought my verses to life through melody.

With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Sustainability, my academic journey deepened my understanding of human nature and our intrinsic bond with the natural world. These disciplines profoundly shaped my perspective, allowing me to explore how our emotional well-being intertwines with our environment, a consistent theme in my writing.

As a retired U.S. Army veteran, my return to writing was significantly influenced by my healing journey from spine injuries and a traumatic brain injury sustained during military service. Writing became more than creative expression; it became an essential path toward healing, reclaiming my voice and reconnecting to myself.

Words offered me solace, grounding, and a pathway through the complexities of healing mind, body, and spirit. My practice of Transcendental Meditation further support my recovery, helping me become more centered, creative, and open to inspiration.

As an intuitive and empath, I write from the heart—guided by emotion, by nature, and by the quiet wisdom I sense in the spaces between. Poetry has always been a language of truth and transformation for me.

After the loss of my beloved dog, my writing deepened significantly. Grief reignited my creative flame, transforming sorrow into celebration and honoring the silent, soulful bond we continue to share. 

Inspired by the ocean's mysteries and the healing stillness beneath the waves, my work embodies the spirit of nature, the tenderness of love, and the grace of letting go. My words reflect a profound connection to both the living world and the unseen, inviting others to recall their own ties to nature, spirit, and each other.

Whether capturing the essence of a fleeting moment or voicing the ineffable mysteries of existence, my writing bridges tangible and intangible realms. I transform wounds into wisdom, illuminating the invisible threads connecting all life. Within each poem and song, I carry forward the harmony woven delicately between animals, nature, and the human soul.
