I have dedicated my life to helping others and have done so as a psychotherapist/clinical social worker. I am also a Certified Peer Support Specialist where I can use my lived experience as a survivor of trauma, injustice, and abuse to help others. I must heal myself so that I can help others to heal and find hope. I find writing to be therapeutic and a powerful part of my healing journey. I have written in both non-fiction and poetry.
Growing up, I was rather skinny and that made me a potential target for bullies. I have only one memory of being picked on in first grade or kindergarten. Then I met Paul – Paul Plourde.
I found the above photograph, a high school yearbook photograph – Celta Camille Head through Ancestry.com. I had not known her in high school. In fact, she is 8 years older than me.
