Alan offers medication consultation and management.

I describe myself as… warm, authentic, affirming and flexible. I place a high value on relationship connection which is key to creating a safe and supportive environment for self-discovery and growth.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: With over 25 years of experience working with healthcare professionals in inpatient, primary care, and medical education settings, I understand the challenges associated with caring for others at the risk of sacrificing oneself. Medical trainees experience unique external and internal pressures that impact performance, self-confidence, and personal life. Despite how common these challenges are, many folks feel very alone in their struggle and put off seeking help. I truly enjoy working with resident physicians and healthcare trainees to validate their experience, foster self-awareness and help them develop practical tools for navigating the complexities of their professional and personal lives.

I’m passionate about… helping people recognize the impact of system relationships, stress, negative thought patterns, and the nervous system’s influence on mood and behavior that contribute to distress or feeling stuck in their professional and personal lives. Together, we work to explore these tensions, rediscover their own innate wisdom and strengths, reconnect with their values, and learn new skills for coping, achieving goals and rediscovering fulfillment.

You might like working with me if… you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or insomnia… you are struggling with self-confidence, feeling overwhelmed or stuck… or, you would like help navigating the tensions at the intersection of personal and professional life. My approach is relationship-centered and flexible, integrating a variety of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), systemic therapy, person-centered therapy, mindfulness techniques, self-compassion and reflective practices tailored to meet your unique needs.

When not working… you may find me savoring the seasons in the woods or on the water. I also enjoy gardening, traveling, cooking and entertaining. Most of all, I treasure time with family, especially my husband, 3 adult children, and our dog, Ruby.

Amy offers individual counseling.

I describe myself as… compassionate, genuine, and warm. I am always seeking to weave my lived experiences with my learning in order to benefit myself and others.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: Having been a clinical faculty in a family medicine residency, chair of a hospital-wide wellness committee, and wellness consultant to a graduate medical education program, I have seen firsthand the commitments that dedicated physicians are making every day to help their patients. I have also seen the toll that overwork and administrative burden takes on most physicians. Much of my professional life is dedicated to helping physicians to find a balance between self-care and patient care that can sustain them in living a more fulfilling personal and professional life.

I’m passionate about… social determinants of health, underserved populations, addiction treatment, the interface between mental and physical illness, aligning one’s spiritual practice with their clinical practice, and helping people heal from trauma.

I will work with you to balance your personal and professional responsibilities and develop sustainable strategies to manage stress and prevent burnout.

Andrew offers individual and relationship counseling, coaching and consulting services.

I describe myself as… warm, authentic, curious, and conscientious.I was raised in a family of healthcare professionals and it was a natural path to become one myself though my discipline of psychology is different then medicine.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I have over a decade of experience as a clinical health psychologist and have worked in multidisciplinary teams in academic medical centers in the private and public sector as well as providing therapy to medical and graduate nursing students, residents, and fellows. Working in various settings from ambulatory to intensive care, I have witnessed the struggles balancing the challenges of life that are amplified by the demands of training and work in healthcare. I also know personally the challenge of uprooting your life for long training programs with the uncertainty about what your future might hold for you somewhere unknown.

I’m passionate about… behavioral medicine, health promotion, and disease prevention. I provide specialty treatment for insomnia, coping with acute and chronic medical conditions, and take an evidence-based approach to support health behavior and lifestyle changes.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: The training period is long, expensive and intense. We all need a hand from time to time, and I am glad to help “my own people” in medicine/nursing/ healthcare. The pathway can be impacted by moves and life events, and I “get it”, because I was there.

I’m passionate about… helping people with the big challenges, such as ADHD and anxiety, loss, depression, and change in family constellation (many trainees are trying to grow their family during training).

You might like working with me if… you are prescribed psychotropic medicine or are curious about medicine as part of your treatment plan, or it has been suggested by your PCP, therapist, coach, spouse, etc.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I have spent most of my career working in hospitals and understand the unique pressures of inpatient medicine, rounding on the wards, and caring for people with complex medical problems.

Brian offers individual and relationship counseling.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I’ve spent over fifteen years as the Director of Behavioral Science in a Family Medicine residency, where I’ve had the good fortune to work not only with residents and attendings in my department, but to provide therapy and coaching to doctors and nurses throughout a large academic health system. From interns to health system leadership, I enjoy supporting medical professionals as they simultaneously strive to help others and develop their own passions and personal lives.

I’m passionate about… bringing a growth mindset to therapy and coaching. One of my mantras is that “Every problem was once a solution” (Jay Haley, PhD). I love helping people shift from thinking about a problem as shameful or a failure to re-envisioning it as a natural attempt to cope with whatever circumstances they have been in. Together we can examine how your strategy has been helpful or unhelpful and work toward a more successful approach. I have experience and passion for supporting people with the extra challenges of being from a minoritized background, including the LGBTQ space, minoritized ethnic or racial backgrounds, or differing abilities.

You might like working with me if… you’re feeling overwhelmed by your work demands, or like you’re losing your sense of why you signed up for this in the first place.

I’m a deep listener, and my style is warm, direct, sometimes humorous, and pragmatic.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: My own extremely difficult experience in medical training has made me forever empathetic to the trauma many healthcare professionals endure, and the concern about having a safe space to seek help.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: As a clinical health psychologist, I have worked in healthcare settings in a wide range of speciality areas for over two decades.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I am a licensed psychologist with over five years of experience specializing in providing mental health support to students, residents, and medical professionals. I have worked extensively in academic medical settings and have a deep understanding of the pressures and demands faced by individuals who work in the field of health care. I have found mental health awareness to be crucial for residents and physicians as it enhances compassion, effectiveness, and decision-making as well as reduces mental fatigue and stress that can lead to burnout.

I’m passionate about… helping individuals manage stress, prevent burnout, overcome imposter syndrome, navigate the complex challenges of academic, training, and clinical environments, adjust to phase of life changes, and improve overall mental and physical health. I am also passionate about helping women navigate the ongoing disparities in medicine (i.e. career related gender inequities, disproportionate burden of home and parental responsibilities, work-life integration challenges, and threats to career attributed to pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting).

I’ve been there to support my colleagues as they faced a range of challenges in their professional development and pursuit of excellence. I understand how the heavy workload, career uncertainties, uprooting and relocation, and exposure to patient pain and suffering can take a toll on you and the friends and family around you.

I also work extensively with well-established health care professionals in a wide range of roles from medical administration, to providing clinical services, to managing clinics.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: As a board certified Clinical Health Psychologist my background has focused on the primary care setting and I’ve worked with medical professionals in a variety of clinical areas. In my experience, healthcare professionals are a unique group of driven, dedicated people who are known for stepping up to whatever challenge they encounter, but sometimes that can come at the expense of their own well-being or balance of work and personal life. I enjoy helping others to find their own “true north” and live their best life possible.

I’m passionate about… working with trauma survivors, the military population, and women. Most recently I’ve found deep satisfaction in helping and guiding women as they navigate all the demands that come with career challenges and finding their place in the work world while also managing competing priorities in their personal lives.

I deeply appreciate the complex range of emotions we carry on this journey through life. I also have a deep sense of the short time we have on earth, and I’m committed to supporting others through their own healing processes.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I have worked on many interdisciplinary teams in medical settings. Having my own experience of being a trainee, I appreciate the complex dynamics medical trainees experience. Growing up in a physician’s household and being premed at one point in my academic past makes me aware of the challenges of finding balance in one’s life with the demands of medicine.

I’m passionate about… providing culturally-informed, evidenced-based care that emphasizes peoples' strengths with the hope to support everyone to live a life according to their values.

I’m passionate about… working with clinicians who are recovering from traumatic experiences, two-clinician couples, in treatment or recovering from cancer or chronic illness, and people struggling with confidence and self-worth.

You might like working with me if… you’re seeking someone who is flexible to your needs and understands the unique pressures of healthcare and will work with you whole self using mindfulness, cognitive approaches, attachment theories, and mind-body integration.

When not working… I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest beauty, staying active outdoors hiking, biking, and walking, and cooking up new recipes.
