A Therapist Walks Into a Bar PodcastA Therapist Walks Into a Bar is a narrative, sound-rich, documentary style podcast that speaks to how messy, lonely, terrifying, and beautiful being human can be. Using primarily story and sometimes expertise as entry points, I explore complex topics like how we cope with the unknown, what it means to be your "true self", defense mechanisms, and the unconscious.
I launched this show in January 2016 because I needed a project that would allow me to do my favorite things: make surprisingly deep connections with strangers, make concepts from therapy more accessible, de-stigmatize conversations about mental health, write stories, and produce music. In October 2018 I published the show's final episode, which tackled the topic of endings, including my feelings about ending the show. Audiocraft Festival called it "A masterclass in how to say goodbye...". All episodes are still available to explore. You can visit the show's website, find it on Soundcloud, or subscribe in your favorite podcast listening place. Check out the most recent episodes:
