  • Processing Personal Challenges While Still Being a Therapist

    I often find myself wanting to hear personal, human stories from fellow therapists. And I'm also curious what the experience of being a therapist is like when we're sometimes going through tough times ourselves.

    Today I'm sharing my story of growing up in a narcissistic household and the experience of unpacking that as a 30-year-old while seeing clients in my therapy practice. Thank you for listening to my story.

  • Is our Value of Career Fulfillment Making us Anxious?

    This episode is an unscripted and rambly take on the cultural emphasis on finding meaning and identity in our career, and some ways I see this potentially affecting us negatively as we pursue fulfillment in our careers and lives. I hope you find this perspective freeing and encouraging.

  • Dealing with Angry Therapy Clients - My go-to Approach

    I've found it challenging to find resources on how to navigate angry outbursts from clients in therapy, so I thought I would share a list of tools I've compiled from various resources over the years into a general routine I utilize to help clients through angry outbursts.

    Of course, if you are concerned you may be in danger, or if your client's behavior is escalating, I encourage you to seek consultation straight away to make sure you're safe and also to support the best care for your client(s).

    I've been intrigued lately by how frequently I see various business experts and commentators dissuade people from being a solopreneur. So as an entrepreneur with no employees, I thought I'd share some of my thoughts about why I'm a solopreneur. Because frankly, it's been a great fit for me (even if it's not the best fit for everyone).
