Hi! I'm MJ!
I've been a gamer since childhood. I started with Duck Hunt on NES, now I play a variety of games on PC, Xbox & Nintendo Switch. I like my games how I like my music choices... all over the place! You might hear me go from singing Disney princess music to rapping a line from Knuck if you buck.
I'm a licensed mental health therapist and coach, deeply passionate about fostering emotional wellness, challenging oppressive systems, and delving into the intriguing nuances of mental health and psychology. My platform is a place to nerd out about the complex, fascinating intersections of gaming and mental health, exploring how each influences and enriches the other.
Please note, while I love to share my insights and perspectives, my Twitch streams, blogs and and content aren't substitutes for professional mental health care. However, if you’re seeking therapy, check out the mental health section for referrals and resources.
More details about me:
Happily married for 11 years

Myers-Briggs Type: INTJ/Enneagram: 1w9
I love to read and eat good food!
Favorite TV Show: The Handmaid's Tale

How Romance and Thriller Novels Help Me Beat a Reading Funk
Hey book friends!! Whenever I hit a reading funk (and y'all, it happens often lol), I switch gears to romance or thriller novels. These two genres get my reading groove back on track.
Romance Reads: It's like a mini-vacay from the real world. 🏖️ These books offer that emotional tug at the heartstrings plus a happy ending. The lovey-dovey journey yet predictable outcomes in these stories soothe my mind. I already know everything will work out fine in the end.
Thrillers: Now, if I want to spice things up, I pick up a thriller. These books keep me on my toes with twists and turns. I kinda feel like it makes me think yet it sucks me into whatever world is in the book. The mental stimulation from trying to figure out WHO DID IT!?! seriously helps me dive in and changes my energy about reading!
