Writing has always been a way for me to organize my thoughts and communicate ideas. It’s also super good self-care. I’ve been posting on Facebook, Twitter, and Insta for some time now, but I have a lot more to say than those platforms allow. I will be writing mostly about psychological self-care strategies, mental wellness and prevention, and treatments that don’t suck.

I reserve the right to post about random stuff as well.

Ultimately, I am dedicating to raising awareness and reducing the stigma attached to seeking mental health treatment. It’s time to normalize the conversation and I’m here to help facilitate. I hope you will join me.

Are you living the life you imagined? If not, let’s make it so. Leave a comment and let me know.

Mindset is a lens through which we view the world. But not *everything* is a mindset. Over the next few weeks I’m going to share with you the things that do qualify as such, according to science, and what we know about how a particular mindset can influence our emotions, our behavior, and our biology. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

If we haven’t been properly introduced, I’m a clinical psychologist, an instructor at Harvard Medical School, a girl mom, & owner of an ‘oops’ kitty. I am on a mission to help people understand themselves better in order to take care of themselves better. My approach is straightforward, practical, and rooted in science. I take the ‘woo’ out of self-care and teach you how to cultivate a personalized wellness practice for “real life.”
