The Rooted and Rewritten Blog

 

Welcome to Rooted & Rewritten
A blog about therapy, identity, and the courage it takes to change.

We don’t just grow as people — we change the stories we live by. Sometimes that happens slowly, over years of feeling unsettled or out of place. Other times it happens in a single moment that shifts how we understand ourselves.

Rooted & Rewritten is a space to explore those changes. It’s about therapy that goes deeper than insight, about living abroad as more than an adventure, and about connection and belonging within yourself.

Here, I write about healing across many kinds of borders — emotional, cultural, and generational. As a therapist and someone living far from where I grew up, I share reflections from my work and my own life, especially from the in-between places where things feel uncertain and growth is quietly taking shape.

This blog is for anyone who senses that something is changing — or needs to — and wants a thoughtful, human place to sit with that.
