Start Here: What Reframing Perspectives Is Really About
I’ve always been told I’m too in my head.
That I think too much. That I wonder too much. That I get stuck on the what if, and then on the gap behind the what if, and then on the small strange nuance hiding inside the gap.
So here I am doing something with it instead: getting out of my head, onto the page, and inviting you to come wonder with me.
Maybe it’s the ADHD. Maybe it’s that I spent my first ten years moving across eighteen different places (4 continents, 8 countries, and 10+ cities), a true third culture kid, at home everywhere and nowhere at once, a chronic daydreamer, superconnector, and, on a good day, an aspiring potato sommelier.
All I know is that I never grew out of the five-year-old stage of asking, but why?
That question eventually led me into a life spent studying human behavior, first as a clinical therapist, later as an organizational psychologist. But underneath the titles, I’ve really only ever been one thing: another person trying to make sense of the world, of the relationships we move through, and of the wild, unexpected things that reshape how we connect and what we come to value.
To some people, that makes me a dreamer. An escapist, even.
To me, it feels like awe. I am endlessly amazed by this human existence of ours, by our emotional lives, and by what becomes possible when we meet each other from a place of compassion, empathy, and accountability. That is where genuine, deep human intimacy lives. And I’ve come to believe that kind of intimacy is what thriving societies are quietly built on.
Moving as much as I did taught me to hold relationships close, to feel the weight and the wonder of stepping into a new culture, to find something whole inside small ordinary joys. My years as a therapist opened me to lives I never could have imagined, and humbled my own.
Underneath all of it, I’m a creative, someone who explores empathy the ways I know how: through choreography/dancing, writing, through gathering people around a table, through telling the stories that remind us how much we share.
Here is where the writing part lives.
