Welcome to the Club: A Space for Growth, Reflection, and Good Vibes
Hi there and welcome!
Starting therapy is a big step. It’s brave, sometimes intimidating, and hopefully, ultimately empowering. At Good Vibes Therapy, my goal is to make sure you never feel alone on that journey. This blog is an extension of the work I do with my clients—a space for reflection, encouragement, education, and a little bit of inspiration.
This blog is where I’ll be sharing reflections on books, ideas, and topics that resonate with me as a therapist and a human. I love reading therapy-informed texts, thought-provoking nonfiction, and stories that help us better understand ourselves and others. My hope is that these posts will offer you insight, hope, and maybe even a sense of being understood.
I want you to know: you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Whether you’re a current client, considering therapy, or simply looking for meaningful reading, I’m so glad you’re here.
Thanks for stopping by—and stay tuned for book reflections, mental health insights, and a whole lot of good vibes.

What Happens When You Answer a Monster’s Call
“Healing starts when we stop punishing ourselves for our very human emotions. Sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is name the thought we’ve been trying to bury.”
What “Chasing the Scream” Taught Me About Addiction and Connection
“Addiction, in this light, isn’t just about substances. It’s about what happens when we can’t connect and when we can’t find meaning.”
What Happens When We Truly See Each Other
“The art of truly knowing someone begins with our willingness to slow down, be curious, and offer our full attention.”
What Is the Significance of Connection?

What Plants Teach Us About Healing and Growth
“Lessons from Plants reminds us that healing, growth, and survival are not solitary pursuits. Like the plants around us, we are meant to grow in community—and we deserve environments that nurture us.”
What Happens to Your Nervous System When You’re a Survivor
