Soundings: An Open Harbor Journal

Soundings is where I make room for the thoughts that don’t fit neatly into a session note, a consultation call, or a research paper. Reflections on mental health, faith, culture, leadership, and the questions I’m still working through. Some are clinical. Some are personal. Some are just me thinking out loud.
