When I look at the news, this is something that keeps bubbling up within me. Therapy is not to teach obedience to power, it is to create space to problematize the taken for granted, and then examine if we consent to the systems we are subject to.

One of the things I’ve learned over the years working in mental health is that therapy is rarely about the thing people first walk in talking about.
A client might come in saying they struggle with anxiety, conflict in relationships, or feeling overwhelmed.
But when we slow down and start to explore the bigger picture, we often find something deeper:
• systems that taught them their needs were inconvenient
• environments where safety depended on people-pleasing
• relationships that required them to shrink themselves to survive
What gets labeled as “symptoms” are often adaptations — intelligent responses to environments that were unpredictable, demanding, or unsafe.
Good therapy isn’t about pushing people to become more “functional.”
It’s about helping people understand the patterns that shaped them so they can make more conscious choices moving forward.
It’s work I’m honored to do every day with clients, colleagues, and clinicians in training.
Mental health work is not just about symptom reduction.
It’s about helping people reclaim agency in their own lives.
