Why I Write Articles

The simplest answer is that I have to, but that’s no answer at all, so an explanation might be helpful to anyone reading. 

Writing has always been important to me, even before I understood it as an art form. Whether shared or not, it’s something that has been necessary for me to do in order to understand myself and the world I am living in, and to communicate my thoughts and feelings to others.

All of which is now an important part of the work I do as a therapist.

Apart from the necessity of self-expression, I write because I want to help people understand themselves and the world they live in. I want to illuminate for others the opportunities they have for happiness, meaning, creativity, growth, and re-invention. 

I write to explore and discover and share my perspective on the things that matter to me including existentialism, science, philosophy, art, culture, history, and my own lived experience.
