About This Blog
This blog brings together psychological knowledge and lived experience. In the psychoeducational articles, I share insights into emotions, relationships, the body and nervous system, complex trauma, and inner processes of healing and growth.
Notes to Grow is a collection of personal essays about my own life - about how I meet life as it unfolds, what it touches within me, and how I learn, grow, and heal through it. These essays are especially close to my heart because it takes courage to show myself with such openness and honesty. Through them, I also hope to invite you to find your own way of showing who you are.
The tags beneath each article image tell you what kind of piece you are about to read.
Take what inspires you - and let go of the rest.

The Mountains We All Climb
On a flight from Mexico City to Los Cabos, I met Kristin Harlia, a renowned mountaineer. Though our lives seem worlds apart—hers defined by summits, mine by physical limitation—we find common ground in our shared longing for peace.
Through stories of loss, stillness, and surrender, we explore why so many of us climb our own metaphorical mountains in search of something we may already hold within.
This post reflects on the pain of letting go, the illusion of becoming, and the quiet arrival in what already is.
How a Rare Disease Transformed My Perspective on Life
It wasn’t my body that needed healing—it was my mind. Letting go of what I thought life should look like was the hardest part. But in that stillness, I found something far greater than I could have ever imagined. Joy. Love. Beauty. Gratitude. Discover my journey of transformation and the lessons I learned from a rare disease that taught me to see with my heart instead of my mind.
