Her 2014 debut, ‘Spiral Road’, was written following her son’s near-fatal accident, marking a spontaneous entry into songwriting for an artist with no prior history of composing.
This creative emergence aligns with the therapeutic concept of ‘meaning reconstruction’, where a traumatic event disrupts a life story, launching an ‘anguished and often complicated search for meaning’ through artistic expression.
