Welcome to my blog, I thank you for your patronage and am happy to know that you have stumbled upon my journey as you venture upon your own.
I have always loved to write, fantasized even about publishing a book one day. What about? The topic has always been in the details. I have always just wanted to share a part of myself with the world and writing is one of the most intimate ways I know how to do that. My observations of the world have always come to me in curious form. Most often they hit me like a ton of bricks without warning, and then just as quickly as they come, they pass. A space to record these musings, even if only for my own reflection is something that I have desired for some time.
As a psychologist in the buzzing metropolis of New York City, I encounter all kinds of people who each in their own way, leave me with food for thought. I have gone into a field of study that each day, allows me to get to know and understand people and their thinking at their very core. My career in psychology has been an amazing and stimulating yet at times challenging exercise, for which I am grateful to partake in. Not only am I grateful, but I consider myself lucky to be able to support the children, teens, and adults with whom I work with on a daily basis. While I sit in the role of helper, so often the individuals sitting on my couch help me see the world in new and interesting ways. They challenge my understanding of things and motivate my continued growth. To accept people, their ideas, and beliefs is to welcome a lifelong commitment to growth.
As the author of this blog, I will share with you some of my insights into emotions, life, society, parenting, childhood, and self-development. I hope that my thoughts inspire thoughts within you, because it is in this space that growing happens.
With love,
Alix
