Katrina Irene Gould

Writer and psychotherapist | Portland, OR, United States

Katrina Irene Gould has spent thirty fulfilling years counseling in Portland, Oregon. ​Her writing ​has appeared in Flash the Court, Dorothy Parker’s Ashes, The Gilded Weathervane, HerStry, Mukoli, Literally Stories and others. Steve Almond says, “Writing is a forgiveness racket.” Gould writes in hopes of demonstrating that we can examine our complicated human experiences, and in so doing create more compassion for our struggles—since often the person we most need to forgive is ourselves.
