Some ideas stay with me. They return through conversations, books, therapy sessions, and ordinary moments of living.
This is a place for a few of those ideas—not advice or essays, but reflections that continue to shape the way I think about existence and the human condition.
I am a work in progress, just like all of us, and this page is too.
On Time
I have been thinking about constructs of time: timelines, anniversaries (the good ones, the hard ones, the ones we feel but can't quite remember), deep memories, and how they shape each person's experience of moving through life. They define the lived pace of it all, alongside that looming and often unspoken awareness of mortality.
Beginning to notice how we move through time can make more space to choose our path forward.
Time and memory are central when working with trauma of all kinds. We forget and remember in ways that can feel strange and non-linear. Time gets stuck, memories get stuck, the body gets stuck. Finding movement often means gently sifting through these experiences, making room to understand what is happening to us.
The physicist and writer Alan Lightman wrote Einstein's Dreams as a way of exploring different conceptions of time. That intersection of scientific curiosity and fiction is something I recognize in my approach to therapy. I am interested in how careful observation, imagination, and awe can expand our understanding of ourselves and our relationships.
