A Beginning & a Continuation

I’ve been holding this step quietly for a while.

Alongside my work in an academic medical center, I’ve maintained a small private practice for several years…work that has always mattered deeply to me. Over time though, I found myself wanting more room: more flexibility in how I serve people, more space to work relationally and collaboratively, and more capacity to respond to the kinds of questions and complexity that don’t always fit neatly into institutional structures.

Becoming a mother has sharpened that clarity in ways I didn’t anticipate. Motherhood has changed how I listen, how I pace myself, how I understand vulnerability and responsibility, and how I think about care that is sustainable (for the people I work with and for myself). It has deepened my respect for context, limits, and the reality that growth and change rarely happen on a tidy timeline.

This next chapter is not about doing something entirely new, but about bringing years of experience (clinical, academic, interdisciplinary, and personal) into a space that allows for more responsiveness and connection. My work is not about fixing people or moving anyone toward a prescribed version of themselves. It’s about relationship, understanding, and making room for thoughtful decision-making, reflection, and care in moments that often feel uncertain.

Here, you can expect musings that are reflective rather than prescriptive and grounded rather than promotional. I’ll share thoughts from my work, questions I’m sitting with personally and professionally, and reflections from the intersections of psychology, medicine, embodiment, and everyday life. My hope is that this space feels like a place to pause, consider, and maybe feel a little less alone in the complexity of being a person.

I’m grateful for the trust people place in me, and genuinely excited about what this next season makes possible. Thank you for being here!

With gratitude,

Erin
