SERVICES I OFFER

INDIVIDUAL & FAMILY THERAPY

In therapy, I work with each individual, family, or caregiver to create a plan that is specific to their health, condition, and situation. Together we then work to make small, manageable shifts that will help create change in the habits, patterns, and beliefs that might be holding you back from feeling healthy and peaceful. For most of my clients, health and lifestyle habits are an integral part of treatment; folks who also want to minimize medication find my approach to be a good fit.

I offer in-person and telehealth sessions to California residents.

HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY ASSESSMENTS

Similar to neuropsychological testing, I perform comprehensive health assessments by gathering data about current medical condition(s), personal/health history, symptoms, mood, cognitive functioning, and lifestyle factors, etc. Then I write up a detailed report, integrating all of the information and outlining how your brain, body, and lifestyle habits are all influencing your sense of health. In addition to identifying patterns that are keeping you stuck, I also provide individualized recommendations and resources to help you resolve the factors that are making you feel bad. 

This is a cutting edge approach to improving your
whole-body health that you are unlikely to find anywhere else.   

SUPERVISION & CONSULTATION

I offer supervision and consultation to licensed mental health professionals and organizations in areas related to health psychology and program development. I help clinicians augment their clinical outcomes and depth of conceptualization by teaching them how to incorporate concepts such as gut-brain health, exercise recommendations, or functional health approaches into their standard treatment flow. I assist organizations in developing or enhancing their offerings in mind and body wellness. 

 

Supervision/consultation may range from a single consult to recurring meetings as desired. 

 

TRAINEES: While I've recruited and supervised postdoctoral associates in the past, I've decided to pause this offering for the time being as I pursue other career opportunities. However, please don't hesitate to reach out and make a connection if we share a similar passion for functional psychology! 

TRAININGS & WORKSHOPS

I provide trainings and workshops to individuals, organizations, and schools who are seeking motivating and engaging expertise on health, lifestyle habits, and brain functioning. Typical topics include optimizing work/life/brain functioning through exercise, nutrition, sleep hygiene, stress management, meditation, and relationships. I enjoy tailoring my content for each specific audience so that they walk away feeling interested and motivated to make changes.

CONTINUING EDUCATION

I am proud to share that in addition to my practice, I am also a co-founder of a CE platform for mental health professionals called MindScience Collective.

It was founded to offer clinicians a better CE experience -- one that is designed to elevate the practice of psychology with courses that are actually inspiring, applicable, and relevant to every session.    

I teach courses on the following topics (and others). I believe this content is essential to health psychology as well as achieving positive patient outcomes in general. Check them out and let me know if you find them helpful!
