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 If You Don’t Actually Need Fixing?
“I assert that you’re not broken, you’re responding in ways that make sense given your experiences and when you approach yourself from that place, I find that’s when things actually start to shift.”
What Is the Relationship Between Perfectionism and Growing Up Queer?
“Healing isn’t about shaming those strategies, it’s about gently asking: What am I allowed to want now, if I don’t have to earn my place anymore?”
What A Nickelodeon Memoir Teaches Us About Approval, Eating Disorders, and the Cost of Being “Good”
“Many of us learned that connection comes from being pleasing, productive, or perfect. When that belief gets wired early, it shows up later as people-pleasing, burnout, body struggles, or deep insecurity.”
What Reclaiming A Feminist Slur Teaches Us About Power, Shame, and Self-Trust
“Reclaiming power isn’t about being fearless. It’s about being anchored. About trusting yourself enough to listen inward before looking outward.”
What We Owe the Generation That Grew Up Online
“What this book ultimately reinforces for me is something I already believe deeply: mental health struggles don’t exist in a vacuum. They’re responses to environments. And when the environment changes this dramatically, our expectations and our compassion have to change too.”
What Happens When a Diagnosis Becomes an Identity?
“The Age of Diagnosis doesn’t ask us to throw diagnoses away. It asks us to hold them more lightly. To remember that before there was a label, there was a person, and that person is still there, capable of growth, change, and adaptation.”
What Mapping Our Emotions Can Teach Us About Being Human
“Atlas of the Heart doesn’t just help people name feelings, it helps them feel less broken for having them.”
What Lies Beneath the Frivolity of Queer Culture
“The book reminds us that the devastation of the AIDS epidemic carved out the landscape of modern queer identity and activism. The essays reveal not just loss, but resilience, creativity, and the push for community care when institutions failed.”
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.”
