The Deep End
Most Recents
The Deep End is a collection of longer-form essays on the inner life. These pieces emerge from questions that arise in clinical work and lived experience, and they explore themes such as self-criticism, ambition, intimacy, meaning, and the ways people become stuck without fully understanding how.
The writing here is informed by psychoanalytic thinking, but it is meant to be readable and reflective rather than technical. These essays are not designed to offer advice or quick solutions. They aim to describe emotional experience as it unfolds and to put language to what often operates outside of awareness.
Alongside these essays, I also share A Note from the Deep End, a shorter, more personal reflection published regularly.
New essays appear from time to time.
