Deeply Rooted

Articles on psychotherapy, attachment, and self-compassion

Deeply Rooted is my professional psychotherapy blog. It covers a lot of ground: how we create a sense of self and what gets in the way; the many possible paths to self-compassion and acceptance; and parenting and its many challenges. I write about how our childhood, adolescent, and young adult experiences affect not only how we feel about ourselves but also affect our capacity to feel connected with others, including (for the parents among us) our children. I also focus on the capacity within all of us for self-acceptance, growth, and change.

When I am not writing for this blog (which is most of the time!), I work with kids, teens and young adults around building a strong, healthy sense of who they are and how they want to be in the world, flaws, strengths, and all. I have also written a book, the 52-Week Grief Journal: Prompts and Reflections for Navigating Loss, and do other writing on the side, some of it personal, some professional. And in 2009, I did a bit of food writing for Vegetarian Times (see here and here).
