Hello dear reader! Thank you for taking the time to read this intro. I’ve decided to start this blog to share articles about topics I’m passionate about, both through the lens of my professional work as well as my personal life.
It is not always easy to find the right balance when it comes to sharing online, between remaining in the professional role of therapist, and opening up about more personal matters. However, in this modern day and age it is becoming increasingly normal for therapists to share a bit more about their personal lives, and some clients find that it makes it easier to connect with a professional and decide if they could be the right fit. I’m both a therapist and a human, and I’d like this blog to reflect that.
The topics you can expect (for now) to read about on this blog can be divided into two categories:
~ Relationships (romantic and platonic)
I will not lie: I love Love. And this is partly why I’m also a couples therapist. But love is not all that is required to make a relationship healthy and functional, whether it be a romantic connection or a platonic one. And this is what I want to explore: the ins and outs of our relationships, and how we can make them more fulfilling and more enriching so that they may last as long as possible. No small feat that’s for sure!
~ Grief
This is the part that’s a bit more personal. Grief is not really the kind of topic that you want to talk about when you haven’t experienced it first-hand. And unfortunately, I am no exception. I lost my beloved mother in 2022, and since then I have used writing as one of my coping tools to help process the magnitude of this loss. I strive to share some of these writings on here, hoping that they might resonate with other’s experiences. And I will also talk about grief from a more professional lens.
So, let’s begin this journey! I’m excited to start sharing my articles on here.
