Author: Kelly Kirkpatrick

I am a new writer but a very old soul. I am a 54 year old, white, ex-catholic, divorced, mother of two, and a woman who loves women. A year ago I decided to end my 11+ year marriage to my wife. This last year has been one of reflection, soul searching, honest internal inquiry, and a lot of writing. The majority of my other writings are short stories filled with universal questions and self reflection, with a nod to the psychodynamic world of psychology. I am a licensed Psychotherapist in Los Angeles and see most things through one or two lenses, namely the soul or true nature of a person and how our relationships to our pasts impact our capacities to function each and everyday.
