The content on this site is meant to inspire hope, healing, and greater self-awareness. While I have education and experience in some of the topics discussed, I am not a licensed mental health professional or healthcare provider. Reading this blog—or trying any of the coping skills I mention—is not a substitute for proper assessment and treatment by a qualified, licensed mental health provider.

I do my best to offer thoughtful, well-researched content where applicable, but please remember mental health care is a constantly evolving field, with new methods, techniques, and insights emerging all the time.

This blog and my related creative work reflect my personal experiences, my journey of self-discovery, and the tools that have helped me along the way. What has worked for me may not work for you. I’ve been in therapy for several years and have personally found value in the evidence-based approaches of:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) / Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Person-centered, existential and some components of internal family systems theory has helped me along with my journey.
