Hey, I’m Ben and I help beginning therapists navigate the path of becoming a therapist.

About me.

I became a therapist because I wanted to sit with people in their hardest moments. What I didn’t expect was how quickly I’d come up against my own self-doubt, burnout, and questions of whether I belonged in this field.

Over time, I’ve had to learn how to care for myself, listen to the anxious and discouraged parts of me, and slowly discover a steadier way of being in this work.

This newsletter is where I share those stories and reflections. My hope is that they’ll offer beginning and struggling therapists a sense of companionship, encouragement, and the reminder that what you’re doing matters—even when it doesn’t feel like it—and that you are not alone.
