I was born and raised in the south (although I like to think I have an international state of mind), and currently live in Savannah GA. I’ve been here since 2019 and I love being so close to the beach, attending SCAD Film Fest, and the weather. My stint up north for graduate school taught me that I much prefer my winters to be hoodie-attire only.
On a typical weekday you can find me working out, walking Miss Ma’am around the neighborhood, and reading on the porch with a cuppa before settling in at my desk to see clients.
My first mentor told me that being a therapist is like going down into a well. I might know lots of expert things about stuff, but you are an expert on you. Maybe the well existed long before you got there, maybe you couldn’t see it and fell in, or maybe it got built around you. Regardless, I believe intrinsically you know what needs to happen next. I’m just down there too so you’re not alone as you try it, and to maybe find the flashlight.
“It’s not a question of better or worse. The point is, not to resist the flow. You go up when you’re supposed to go up and down when you’re supposed to go down. When you’re supposed to go up, find the highest tower and climb to the top. When you’re supposed to go down, find the deepest well and go down to the bottom. When there’s no flow, stay still. If you resist the flow, everything dries up. If everything dries up, the world is darkness.”

“And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep. All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is. Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I’ve said before, bugs in amber.”
– Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut
