Blog
The goal of this blog is to explore various topics related to pediatric, adolescent and perinatal mental health. It is an active reading adventure and meant to serve as an alternative therapeutic tool. When you engage in a therapy session, you commit to a place of vulnerability. You have the opportunity to explore your thoughts, core beliefs, and be open to either accepting or challenging them. These posts provide a supplemental opportunity. My writing incorporates different therapy modalities which connect universal topics to the unique and individualized experiences of the reader. Let this blog drive questions, create meaningful discussions, and allow space for internal reflection and support. I hope you enjoy,
Disclosure: My writing stems from ideas that arise from my own personal and professional experiences. They are topics I am passionate about and want to explore further. Some pieces may include sensitive and uncomfortable topics. Some people may or may not agree with my approach or content, and that is expected. Let us acknowledge our differences and discuss them with respect and compassion. Most importantly, while one of my goals is to provide awareness, insight, and support for those suffering from mental illness, it is also to satisfy my pursuit of curiosity as a mental health provider and writer.
