The Start of Something New

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Emily and I’m a therapist. I love my job tremendously but less as a profession and more as a way of connecting to and being of service to other humans. While boundaries are an important thing, my deepest belief is that I need to be a human first kind of practitioner- and that’s what you’ll find here.

This space was born out of the fact that I love to share ideas that excite me, offer free education about mental health topics, and mostly help people feel less alone. Tragically, I am not built to appeal to algorithms. I want to use as many words as it takes, I don’t want to come up with a color scheme, I will not be ‘staying in my niche’ of one specific topic… because everything is everything, ya know? So much so that it sometimes overwhelms me to try to hold the bigness of everything in my mind. Writing is a tool that helps me methodically put all of the pieces together in a way that, on the best days, makes fragmented thoughts meld together into something helpful. My biggest hope is that my thought fragments will reflect light back onto yours and vice versa. That’s what I think connection is.

So if you, too, are desperate for less immediate answers and more of an exploration of ideas, this is the place for you. What do you want to talk about?  Leave a comment or send me a message with your thoughts and ideas.

From my fragments to yours,

Emily
