As my life changes, the one constant remains; self care is my life line. Without it many of us, including myself, begin to sink. With mounting responsibilities and a desire for rest, it can become difficult to imagine adding another ritual to your life. But the ritual of self care is paramount. It offers rejuvenation and respite. I often refer to self care as a break for the brain. It's easy to train our brain to be mindful of our worries. It takes consistency and intention to train our brains to be mindful in self care. I'd like to offer some easy new year tips to reinvigorate a new or old self care practice you've been meaning to do.

    ​About the author...

    I am a psychologically-minded, licensed clinical psychologist looking to share the science behind the study of emotions, behaviors, and the thoughts. I have a passion for psychoeducation, and spend much of my time educating patients, psych trainees, and students on the most current evidence-based treatments and practices. 

    As a clinical psychologist, I am qualified to care for individuals who may be facing life-stressors, or those who may be facing painful or difficult-to-treat psychiatric symptoms.

    I began my education in general psychology at a small liberal arts college--St. Mary's College of California right here in the Bay Area. Thereafter, I completed my doctorate degree in clinical psychology at John F. Kennedy University.  I have spent more than 8 years developing clinical skills and expertise in public and private settings around the Bay Area of California, including Fremont Psychiatric Hospital, Kaiser Permanente, and other community mental health based agencies. Much of my work has been with multiculturally diverse groups varying in age, gender, sex, abilities, sexual orientation, racial and ethnic background, and religion. My work in academia has been focused on teaching theory and providing training to students interested in science and psychology.
