A therapist’s reflections on psychology, culture, and the sacred inner life.

I’ve always loved taking notes.

Most days, I capture them in my Notes app, letting them pile up like tiny emotional breadcrumbs.

Later, I sit down and shape them into something real.

I studied creative nonfiction in undergrad, not because I wanted to become a writer, but because I needed to understand this part of me.
The part that listens closely.
That sees metaphor everywhere.

About the Notes On… Series

I have long been inspired by Susan Sontag’s Notes on "Camp", and this series is my tribute to the wild paradoxes of therapy itself. She wrote in fragments to get closer to the whole. So do I (sometimes). I honor its seriousness and its playfulness, its artistry and its science, holding each with the same reverence, curiosity, and rigor that Sontag brought to culture (well, trying anyway:).

This project is my love letter to that beautiful, necessary tension.

To me, therapy is a kind of CAMP: extravagant, intimate, deeply felt, and a little outrageous in its hope.
