A Note to Begin 2026
The start of a new year often comes with added meaning. Expectations, plans, and a sense that something should feel different simply because the calendar has changed.
For me, this year is not about sweeping shifts or big declarations. The focus is narrower and more intentional.
I want to continue bringing more humanity into the mental health space. Not by offering perfect answers, but by staying honest about how layered and nonlinear growth actually is. Mental health lives in nuance, and the work rarely fits into clean before-and-after stories.
Accessibility remains important to me as well. There is more work to be done around who gets support, when they receive it, and how early we normalize asking for help, long before things feel unmanageable.
Above everything else, my priority remains the work I do with clients.
Showing up consistently. Staying grounded and thoughtful. Continuing to refine my approach so that sessions feel steady, collaborative, and useful in real life, not just in theory.
This space, Notes Between Sessions, exists alongside that work. It is not meant to replace therapy or provide instruction. It is a place for reflections that do not always belong in session notes. Patterns I notice, questions that linger, and thoughts shaped by both the work and the life happening around it.
No resolutions here. Just a continued commitment to doing the work carefully and with intention in the places that matter most.
