New Year, New Journey

Happy New Years! Tonight we will be reminded that the only constant in our life is change. This can be an exciting, painful, overwhelming, and or a welcomed occasion for many. For Ojuri Psychology Practices (OPP), it is all of the above in this moment. Come the stroke of midnight we embark on a new journey towards growth while reinforcing healing and recovery for others. 

​​OPP  will be adding an additional location for private practices, groups, and trainings on the central coast of California--Morro Bay. The new address is 485 Morro Bay Blvd, Morro Bay, CA. However, while this change is underway, we expect little impact on the current practice in Lafayette, CA. So please feel free to continue using, offering, or suggesting the services provided in Lafayette, and know OPP is simply working toward providing an additional safe place for others on the central coast. More information and pictures of the new facilities will be provided within the coming weeks. Feel free to check back for this.
​
Speaking of... Change, new beginnings and endings can be turbulent. During these times it's useful to invest in a core mindfulness practice. Choosing a wisemind mantra through a nonjudgmental stance can contribute to an increased sense of control, reducing helplessness and anxiety; and can lead to empowerment, increasing a positive sense of self.

For example, below I've invested in change:
Without judgment, I choose to accept change; as it is the only constant in my life and brings great healing and stability if I allow it.
I allow it.


Feel free to post comments on the latest change for you and perhaps how you choose to set an intention to evoke your wisemind through this change.

    ​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.
