Most days, hours before dawn, Katrina can be found at her writing desk. Later in the day, she sees her counseling clients. Katrina has spent thirty fulfilling years as a psychotherapist in Portland, Oregon, but her deepest love is writing. Earlier this year she published “The Dark and the Lights” in Writing in a Woman’s Voice. The now-defunct YM Magazine published her first short story when she was nineteen. In the intervening years, she mostly published non-fiction in The Rocky Mountain News, articles for the Eugene-based Women’s Press and The Bend Bulletin, and in professional journals and local papers in Portland. These latter pieces explored how therapy intersects with life, parenting, and women’s issues. She writes in hopes of demonstrating that we can all examine our complicated and sometimes troubling human experiences, and in so doing, create more compassion for our own struggles.
