Meet Our Clinicians

I describe myself as… affirming, warm, empathic, and inquisitive.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: Most of my work as a psychologist has been spent in VA medical centers and clinics. This work has allowed me to witness the profound impact their work has on healthcare providers and underscored the importance of providing them with dedicated mental health support.

I’m passionate about… working with clients to address symptoms related to anxiety and trauma-related disorders; offering tools for managing stress; supporting clients in coping with grief and loss; and treating sleep concerns.

I also enjoy working with military Veterans, and I have years of experience working with Veterans.

You might like working with me if… you value a supportive and direct therapist. You can expect a safe and supportive environment where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I approach each interaction with curiosity and empathy. We will work to set realistic and achievable goals, and we will develop structured plans to achieve them. We will build on your strengths and address limiting beliefs, fostering an increase in self-confidence and self-efficacy.

My theoretical orientation is primarily cognitive behavioral. I help my clients to gain awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We use that awareness to empower clients and help them bring about changes in how they feel. I incorporate mindfulness training in my work with clients. I also recognize that culture plays a significant role in how we relate to the world around us, how others relate to us, and how we experience symptoms.

As a psychologist, my goal is to give clients the tools to address any problems and concerns that are preventing them from being able to be present for the things that are most important to them.

When not working… I enjoy reading, trying new recipes, binge-watching my favorite series of the moment, and spending time with my husband and stepdaughter.

I describe myself as… A compassionate, culturally-attuned physician who bridges medical expertise with human connection. I’m deeply committed to holistic healing—valuing curiosity, resilience, and humor in the journey of health and recovery.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: With roots in emergency medicine, family practice, psychiatry, and addiction medicine, my path has taken me from the Cleveland Clinic Emergency Department to family medicine residency at MetroHealth/Case Western Reserve University, and now to leading recovery initiatives as Medical Director of MAT. Alongside clinicians, nurses, and behavioral health teams, I support integrated care models every day.

The crucible of my residency was both academically exceptional and emotionally taxing. My residency is renowned for its rigorous training in a high‑acuity county hospital environment—with intense clinical volume, early procedural autonomy, and academic depth through grand rounds and scholarly expectations. At the same time, aspects of the culture were draining: long call schedules, hierarchical pressures, limited downtime, and a wear‑and‑tear environment that prioritized competence over compassion.

Though the faculty provided mentorship and education—bolstered by wellness initiatives—that environment revealed a painful truth: exceptional training can coexist with burnout and emotional fatigue.

Having lived this tension personally, I deeply understand how healthcare professionals can be clinically prepared yet emotionally depleted. Supporting them isn’t just about improving individual resilience—it’s about fostering safer, more sustainable patient care systems. This dual awareness—of rigorous training’s power and its cost—drives my commitment to initiatives aimed at empowering clinicians to heal while prioritizing self care and is one of the driving forces behind me joining Tend’s initiative.

I’m passionate about… Helping professionals and patients navigate recovery along with psychiatric needs with dignity, evidence-based medicine, and anonymity. I’m especially drawn to supporting individuals in recovery, addressing trauma‑informed care, and promoting whole‑person wellness rooted in community and collaboration.

You might like working with me if… You appreciate clinical insight grounded in empathy and collaboration. I integrate psychopharmacology, motivational interviewing, harm-reduction techniques, and lifestyle-anchored health strategies in a tailored, non‑judgmental approach. Whether refining resilience in a healthcare role yourself or helping others find recovery, I aim to foster trust, autonomy, and a clear path forward.

When not working... You’ll often find me exploring trails in Northern California, curled up with a good book, or caring for family—including my young kiddos. I enjoy cooking, literary pursuits, and community wellness activities. As someone who values global perspective and mentorship, I cherish working with students and mentees—helping them shape a career rooted in compassionate clinical service and purposeful growth.

California License #20A21405

I describe myself as… empathetic, warm, playful with a sense of humor, encouraging and excited to learn about what makes you who you are! I am fond of helping others come to recognize the ways they are unique and wonderful. I don’t shy away from the more challenging subjects or situations that are a part of life and will work side by side with you as you are ready.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: My passion for working closely with medical teams as a neuropsychologist has led me to my work in hospital and outpatient medical settings, including the field of oncology. I have directly witnessed the struggles of healthcare professionals and have learned how to offer support through the many challenges they face in their professional and personal lives. I believe that when clinical providers are emotionally well and balanced in their values, passions, and personal lives, we can create healthy, fulfilling, and joyful healthcare workplaces.

I’m passionate about… I specialize in working with clinicians struggling with burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD/trauma, grief/loss, relationship struggles, existential crisis, transitions, performance challenges, self-worth, and perfectionism. In addition, I have experience working with clinicians with serious medical conditions such as cancer, neurological disorders, brain and spinal cord injuries.

You might like working with me if… My approach centers on honoring your knowledge, with the goal of creating an empowering environment where you have the freedom to discover your strengths, resilience, and courage. It is important to me that we consider culture, history, and identity in the context of that with which you are struggling. I truly appreciate the beautiful complexity that makes each of us who we are. What fun we might have looking at your life through new lenses, flipping scripts, and shifting paradigms!

When not working… I can be found doing many physical activities including circus arts and spending time catching up with friends and family.

Ali offers individual and relationship counseling, and specializes in ADHD coaching.

I describe myself as… Committed and enthusiastic about my work, empathic, creative, and insightful in the work of therapy and able to see humor and hope in the world around us.

Why I work with healthcare professionals… Working with healthcare professionals is extremely rewarding as I appreciate working with a population of individuals who tend to be motivated, committed to excellence, and share a passion for helping others. As a clinician, one often does their best work when engaging with clients who are initiative-taking to make changes in their life, and most healthcare professionals fall into this category.

I am passionate about… The stories of people’s lives including their triumphs and successes as well as their challenges in both their professional and personal lives. It is extremely rewarding for me to accompany people on their journey and be a part of their path to change and successes. My specialized interests include grief work, anger management training, stress management, anxiety management, social interactions, trauma work, parent training, and working with families who have children/adult children with mental illness and/or disabilities.

You might be working with me if… you appreciate that the process of therapy is collaborative and sometimes humorous, and that clients are empowered to make choices during their treatment. Simultaneously, there are times when clients may be challenged to make further growth and progress. In therapy, my style would involve asking many open-ended questions to learn more about your story and your journey. Therapy should involve clients feeling safe, challenged, and learning strategies and approaches to managing problems more effectively. In the end, ideally clients will feel better about themselves and their world. Most definitely, there are times that clients should laugh in therapy, as humor and laughing are an important part of healing.

When not working… You might find me on the tennis court which has been a passion for many years. Of course, you may also find me out walking with my significant other and our large one-and-a-half-year-old golden doodle. I also enjoy going to the theatre, seeing live performances, or spending time with my young adult children or stepchildren.

I describe myself as… compassionate, practical, flexible, genuine and authentic. Each person has unique needs and expectations when pursuing counseling or coaching. I like to “demystify” the process by being upfront from the beginning about what’s possible and what direction we may take.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: Working in primary care and an academic hospital, I’ve witnessed firsthand how medicine can impact a person’s joy, relationships, and self-esteem. During especially challenging moments, providers may find themselves questioning why they chose to pursue medicine in the first place. I frequently assist providers in navigating the tension between their professional calling, the demanding schedules and pressures of their work, and the personal lives they often have to put on hold. I am dedicated to fostering hope, purpose, and fulfillment, even in the most challenging circumstances.

I’m passionate about… increasing access to behavioral health care for anyone who needs it, at the time they need it most. I am communicative between visits and maintain a flexible schedule that allows for rapid access (often within 24-48 hours of a request).

You might like working with me if… you want to learn practical, tangible skills that you can apply in both personal and professional situations. I often describe my approach as "teaching someone how to fish, rather than fishing alongside them." However, I’m equally comfortable providing support during vulnerable moments and helping individuals reflect on their situation. My focus isn’t on applying psychological labels, but on helping people get unstuck using an evidence-based method called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. For couples, I am particularly fond of Relational Life Therapy, a practical and effective approach to fostering effective communication and conflict resolution.

When not working… I love taking road trips with my family, coaching my sons’ sports teams, eating street tacos, and watching soccer (the “real” football).

Brian offers individual and relationship counseling and coaching.

I describe myself as… warm, genuine, straightforward, and a good listener

Why I work with healthcare professionals: As a professor working in an academic medical school setting, I have close personal experience working alongside and training a broad range of healthcare professionals. I understand the unique pressures healthcare providers experience, especially in the context of modern healthcare where pressure is generated not only from caring for sick patients but also navigating an increasingly complex and bureaucratic system that zaps much of the satisfaction from the work.

I’m passionate about… working with healthcare providers who are dealing with stresses of life and challenges of the healthcare industry and the effects these have on personal well being and professional performance. I am particularly interested in helping couples manage the stress of residency and improving the satisfaction of their relationships. In addition to helping clients with mental health concerns, I also like working with individuals who are experiencing challenges with choosing career paths.

You might like working with me if… you’re seeking someone who is straightforward yet compassionate. My approach includes careful attention to identifying and growing an individual’s existing strengths, as well as building new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others that foster mindfulness, meaning, connectedness, and resilience.

When not working… my wife and I spend most of our time raising our two children, maintaining our Victorian home – which is like our third child! – tending our garden, and building birdhouses. I also enjoy traveling, reading science fiction, relaxing on my front porch, and brewing beer.

Ed offers individual and couples counseling and individual coaching.

I describe myself as… curious, energetic, uplifting, and empowering.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I’ve been working in medical settings for 10 years, including experiences in primary care, emergency medicine, ICU, hospice, inpatient medicine, and clinical nutrition. In my current work at an integrated primary care clinic, I have the pleasure of both providing direct patient care as a behavioral health clinician and serving as Behavioral Scientist Faculty for our family medicine residency physicians. In my day to day work, I see the struggles that resident physicians and other healthcare providers are facing (as both professionals and as humans), and I love helping the people who devote their lives to helping others.

I’m passionate about… so many things! I’m a true generalist who loves working with all different types of people and presenting concerns. I work with people with traditional mental health needs like depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use, productivity, time-management, and executive functioning challenges, work/career struggles and professional development, relationship stress, family conflict, and parenting concerns and living with chronic illness or other medical challenges.

You might like working with me if… you’re looking for an authentic, human-to-human approach to this type of work. Clinically, I enjoy getting to know people deeply, holding space for their stories and struggles, and helping them actively move toward their personal goals and values. I’m trained in a wide variety of evidence-based treatments and utilize a flexible and contextual approach to incorporate strategies, teach skills, and set goals with you that will be most appropriate, effective, and efficient for your specific life circumstances.

When not working… I enjoy exercise, meditation, gardening, reading, and spending time with my family! I grew up in the Midwest and now live in Washington state.

Emily offers individual and relationship counseling.

Welcome – I'm so glad you're here.

I'm an upbeat, outgoing, and nature-loving healthcare professional with a passion for whole-person mental health care. Whether you're seeking therapy, medication management, or simply a fresh start on your wellness journey, I’m here to support you in a way that feels collaborative, compassionate, and empowering.

Education and Training
Undergraduate: Health Sciences, Linfield College
Medical School: American University of the Caribbean
Residency: Family Medicine, Reading Hospital, Pennsylvania

My residency in Family Medicine gave me a strong foundation in comprehensive care and deepened my commitment to treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

My approach: Rooted in curiosity, connection, and respect. I’ll encourage you to try new things, explore different perspectives, and grow—at your own pace. You don’t have to do this alone; I’ll walk beside you as a true partner in your mental health journey. I value open-mindedness and enjoy helping patients try new strategies, reflect deeply, and move toward lasting change.

When not working… You’ll most likely find me outdoors—whether I’m in the garden, tending to my chickens, riding my horses, or spending time in Bulgaria. Nature is my sanctuary and constant source of inspiration.

My goal is to be a true partner in your mental health and wellness journey, encouraging curiosity, resilience, and a sense of balance. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis, feeling stuck, or simply looking for a mental health provider who truly partners with you, I’m here to help.

Oregon License #MD190160

I describe myself as… authentic, dedicated, thoughtful, curious, and creative. I like to bring my personality into the therapeutic relationship and encourage my clients to also, as I feel doing so helps to strengthen rapport and fosters a genuine and collaborative dynamic.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I have spent most of my career working alongside physicians and other healthcare professionals in integrated settings, but became especially interested in supporting the well-being and mental health of healthcare professionals after witnessing my two younger sisters go through medical school, residency, fellowship, and into the workforce. Medical education and training are rigorous, working in healthcare is often stressful and emotionally taxing, and it can be hard to find time to reflect, cope, and take care of oneself — making burnout an all too common experience for individuals in the field. Currently, as a psychologist and faculty member at a residency program, I am committed to supporting and advocating for the mental and physical well-being of medical house staff and all those who work in the healthcare setting.

I’m passionate about… integrated behavioral health. I am a firm believer that wellness encompasses not only physical health, but also mental health. It's not only important for healthcare workers to remember and advocate for this when working with their patients, but to also recognize this and implement it in their own lives!

You might like working with me if… you are looking for a therapist who is down-to-earth, honest, and not afraid to “jump into the chaos” with you. No one size fits all, so I utilize an integrative approach to therapy to meet each individual's needs, often pulling from psychodynamic, interpersonal, and cognitive-behavioral theories. Whether your goals include developing coping skills, increasing self-insight, finding a balance between your personal and professional lives, and/or something else, I hope that while working with me, you feel truly seen, understood, and supported.

When not working… you can find me at the rock-climbing gym, watching a musical in the city, baking, anywhere by the water, or checking another national park off the list with my family!

New Jersey License #35s100698300

I describe myself as… curious, and always wanting to learn more about anything and everything! I like to both plan ahead for the future and live each day as it comes.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: Assisting fellow healthcare professionals with burnout is near and dear to my heart, as I have experienced (and overcome) burnout myself. I strive to improve the mental health of healthcare providers the same way I would have liked someone to do for me when I went through my training. I have previous experience working in medical education, developing wellness curricula for Residents and training them in behavioral health techniques. This allows me to better understand the training demands for Residents and the challenges they might face as they strive to meet these demands to the best of their ability.

I’m passionate about… working with professionals experiencing burnout, and professionals looking to improve their overall wellness. As a mother, I am also passionate about working with mothers in healthcare, as we face unique challenges in meeting the demands of multiple roles. I have further specialized training in working with patients diagnosed with eating disorders, patients experiencing chronic pain, and veterans.

You might like working with me if…you like a skills based approach, with worksheets and homework. You might also like working with me if you want to slow down, pause, and look at the bigger picture. My therapeutic style draws mainly from 3rd wave CBT therapies like DBT, ACT, Radically Open DBT and mindfulness. One saying from DBT that guides my therapeutic style is the concept of creating “a life worth living”, and how to do that under some of the stressors that come with working in healthcare.

When not working… I like to spend time with family, cook, travel with friends, and practice yoga. I also indulge in reality TV 😉

Gabriela Offers Individual Counseling

I describe myself as… grounded, pragmatic, collaborative, authentic, and attuned. I bring a psychological perspective combined with an honest human connection.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I started working with clinicians at UCSF Health as an EAP provider. Medicine touches everybody's life and healthcare professionals are at the center of it. Combining their skills, passion, and dedication to provide the best care takes an incredible amount of sacrifice. I support folks in every stage of their career, from starting out during residency/fellowship, to establishing oneself in early career, all the way to working in leadership positions. There are different challenges at every step and ways to navigate them successfully in a high-pressure environment.

I’m passionate about… creating streamlined access to get support, preventing common problems by supporting clinicians early through coaching, transition to working parenthood, and building a successful career in medicine without burnout.

You might like working with me if… you appreciate a calm and direct approach to finding out what is working well and what needs adjustment in your life. If you want to go from insight to action. I get folks to clarify their WHY for entering this career and building upon that drive to design their best life.

When not working… As a psychologist in an “office job”, I make it a priority to spend most of my free time outside, whether biking, hiking, or simply soaking up nature. As a family, we also love traveling to new places and trying local food. I value activities that allow for curiosity, humor, and meaningful conversation.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I have worked as a psychologist in residency education since 2015 and I am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate the unique world and challenges of a career in medicine.

I’m passionate about… helping people (and couples) navigate relationship challenges, sexual concerns, sleep concerns, health and lifestyle changes, and anxiety. I offer coaching for communication challenges, organizational efficiency, and professional satisfaction.

You might like working with me if… you are looking for a common sense approach to therapeutic intervention. My style is warm, supportive, evidence based, and largely based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

When not working… I enjoy spending time with my husband, friends, and watching football and tennis (really, any sport).

Katherine offers individual and relationship counseling and individual coaching.

I describe myself as… transparent, intuitive, and warm. I hope my clients feel seen and appreciated for their humanness and not a diagnosis.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I spent my early career working in medical settings, both as a colleague and therapist to medical providers. I appreciate the sacrifice and unique resilience it takes to be a health professional, as well as the challenges of managing personal well-being under the weight of exceptional responsibility and stress. Our healers need healing too-and it is incredibly rewarding to offer care to those that are always giving it.

I’m passionate about… working with clinicians who are struggling with a sense of purpose or burnout, managing personal relationships with the demands of medicine, and clarifying values for how they practice medicine and show up in their lives.

You might like working with me if… you want a personalized approach that incorporates your values and perspective; to understand your current situation in context of your broader story; and you want practical, tangible suggestions for change.

When not working… I am practicing yoga, trying to learn to garden (and actually enjoy it!), and catching up on reading my tower of impulse-buy books.

Laura offers individual counseling.

I describe myself as… attentive and compassionate. I am deeply committed to fostering authentic connections, both personally and professionally.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: Throughout my years working in emergency departments and primary care, I have noticed that many healthcare professionals carry the burden of presenting as “strong” or “resilient.” I appreciate the unique demands, long hours and emotional toll of caring for others. I find it rewarding to support folks in embracing their vulnerabilities and coping with professional burnout.

I’m passionate about… helping people through their most challenging life experiences. I believe it is important to establish a space where healthcare professionals can be vulnerable, address their emotional health and embrace the complexities of their personal and professional identities. I specialize in relational psychodynamic therapy and work with individuals and couples.

You might like working with me if… you’re seeking a therapist who values deep, authentic connections and creates a welcoming, non-judgmental space for emotional growth. If you’re navigating life transitions, struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma, or seeking support in relationships, I can help you feel validated, understood and empowered. My approach includes a little humor and emphasizes the belief that people are doing the best they can with the resources they have available.

When not working… I enjoy going to the beach, traveling, hiking, reading, and eating delicious foods. I love spending time with my spouse, children and dog.

Rebekah offers medication consultation and management

I describe myself as… candid, kind, and a bit irreverent. Contrary to popular advice, being a psychologist is as much my identity as it is my job. But I see that as less a problem and more a gift of purpose. The key is not taking ourselves too seriously.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: More than a decade in primary care showed me that being a healthcare professional is filled with complex and interweaving realities. The impact of what we do, and how we do it, extends far beyond the single individual - affecting how people show up in their families, in their jobs, and in their communities. Working with healthcare professionals is my way of paying it forward (and in many ways, paying it back) because you deserve the same attuned, attentive, informed care that you give to so many others every day.

I’m passionate about… continuing to learn and grow as a clinician, which means building on what we already know to be helpful, while remaining open to new and exciting approaches. I take an integrated, or holistic approach to therapy with the recognition that our physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health combined make up who we are - and how we’re experiencing life - in this moment. I understand and work with trauma from a body-centered perspective. I feel comfortable addressing just about any issue, but have particular interest in couples & relationship issues, women’s health, and navigating major life transitions.

You might like working with me if… you appreciate directiveness, humor and occasional impulsive bursts of enthusiasm during those inevitable lightbulb moments. Therapy is an active process that involves curiosity, self-compassion, and a willingness to try on new ways of thinking, behaving, or relating. It’s about identifying what’s meaningful to you, cultivating insight, and then applying what you learn to everyday life. I facilitate this by blending therapeutic approaches depending on the presenting concerns, goals, or interests of the client. The approaches I engage most often include mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapies (DBT, ACT, MBCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and modalities that incorporate the nervous system (somatic-oriented therapy, interpersonal neurobiology and applied attachment theory.)

When not working… you’ll find me making, learning, and exploring. A restless creative side keeps me engaged in more projects than what’s probably recommended, and a case of terminal wanderlust drives a need to explore. I’ve discovered that parenting a teenager is kind of my jam (unusual so I hear!) and this grounds me in routines and a bit of life balance.

Shay offers individual and couples counseling.

I describe myself as… experienced, client-centered care, and authentic. I recognize each person is unique and deserving of the time and attention needed to achieve their goals.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: I work with healthcare professionals because they often have demanding roles that can cause stress and burnout. Supporting them through therapy helps them maintain their well-being, ensuring they can continue caring for others without sacrificing their own mental health.

I’m passionate about… helping people through life's challenges and offering a safe, supportive space to explore difficult emotions. I’m dedicated to empowering my patients to reach their goals and navigate life's ups and downs with guidance and care.

You might like working with me if… you’re seeking a collaborative, conversational approach to therapy. I focus on creating a trusting, open environment where you can feel heard, and we can work together to find solutions that resonate with you. If you value a personalized approach and enjoy setting goals that are both achievable and enjoyable, you’d be a great fit for therapy with me.

When not working… I enjoy spending time with my family and continuing to explore my love of animals and nature. I believe in balance and make time to recharge by enjoying the world around me.

Why I work with healthcare professionals: Having worked with interdisciplinary teams and having loved ones in the medical field, I have witnessed how being a healthcare professional can be rewarding, but also bring about unique challenges.

I’m passionate about… working with individuals who are experiencing relationship challenges, adjusting to transitions, and balancing personal and professional stressors. As a daughter of immigrants, I am also passionate about processing how our intersecting identities and culture play a role in how we develop our sense of self and show up in our lives.

You might like working with me if… you are seeking a holistic approach where we collaborate to understand how your relationships, experiences, and broader social-cultural context impact how you navigate your personal and professional worlds.
