Claribel Santiago-Severson |
Because of my love for words and writing I have written articles, essays and short stories. My first attempt at writing was at the age of 9 years old, when I wrote and directed a play. I continued to write for many years and in 2006 began collecting my poetry into a book titled Rhythms of My Mind. Among other things, I enjoy painting and drawing and have sold some of my print reproductions and paintings. But I have mostly pursued these as a hobby. My passion for people and stories led me to pursue a masters degree. In 2008 I decided to return to school to pursue a degree in counseling. It is an ongoing process to obtain licensing. However, today I practice both my passion for design and counseling. I also integrate art into my counseling practice, which helps clients engage in a process of self discovery. |
