I've always loved bringing people together. There's something really special about connecting people over shared interests, experiences, and even struggles. I love when a conversation turns into a friendship, or when two people discover they have more in common than they realized.
As I began building my career as a therapist, I found myself craving that same sense of connection professionally.
Therapy is such relational work. We spend so much of our time listening, being present, and creating space for other people. And while that work can be incredibly meaningful, it can also feel surprisingly isolating.
I wanted to know other therapists beyond their professional titles. I wanted to hear about their experiences, what they were learning, what they were struggling with, and how they were navigating this profession.
That desire for community was already there, but something happened that really solidified it for me.
Through my daughter's preschool, I met three wonderful moms who also happened to be therapists. What started as a connection through our children became an opportunity to connect over something else we shared. We could talk about our work, our experiences, and the challenges of balancing our professional and personal lives.
I loved that these relationships developed so naturally. We were connecting as people first, and as therapists second.
And I found myself wanting to create more opportunities for that kind of connection.
That's where The Interior Table came in.
I wanted to create a space where therapists could come together not just to discuss clinical work, but to connect as people. A place to be honest about the challenges, celebrate the good things, ask questions, exchange resources, and support one another.
A place to get real.
I think there's something powerful about being in a room with people who share your passion but bring their own perspectives, experiences, and personalities to the conversation.
We don't always need another training, another credential, or another professional obligation. Sometimes we just need to sit around a table, be ourselves, and feel understood.
That's what I hope The Interior Table continues to become.
A community built on genuine relationships, shared curiosity, openness, and the simple pleasure of being together.
Because the people who spend so much of their lives making space for others deserve a space of their own.
