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.

As I sat in my garden, surrounded by the peaceful mountains of Oaxaca, I realized that surrendering to the process of letting go is both terrifying and inevitable. Each time we resist, we hold on to the old, until the pressure becomes too much, and only by surrendering do we find transformation. Just like nature, this cycle repeats itself, teaching us to trust in the process even when it feels most uncertain."
