UNFILTERED:
Making the Invisible, Visible
If therapy and Fight Club have a common thread, it's their first rule: don't talk about it. This code works wonders if you're in the loop, but it's less helpful when you're on the sidelines, contemplating whether or not to step into the ring.
Think of these articles as your insider's guide to therapy.
I'll offer you a candid view of my work as a therapist, without sacrificing the sacredness of my client's confidentiality. Like your favorite reality TV show, we'll delve into the highs, lows, and 'pour-the-red-wine' moments of life for women in their 30s and 40s.
I'm pulling back the curtain on the invisible world of therapy for women who think their struggles aren't "significant enough", one blog post at a time.

An Open Letter to Eldest Daughters (and the People Who Love Them)
You are the most responsible person you know.
You are also the most exhausted person I know.
And I know you tell yourself that if the people around you would just get their shit to-damn-gether, you’d finally feel better.
But what I need you to hear is that while that used to be true (really, it did), it’s not the only thing that’s true anymore. And I want to help.
