Clinical Psychologist & Director at Know Your Mind Consulting
Answered 10 months ago
Thanks for the interest, though I should clarify I'm not a traditional university professor but rather a Clinical Psychologist who teaches through workplace change. My "lectures" happen in boardrooms where I help companies like Bloomsbury PLC retain their most talented parents who are considering leaving at career peaks. What makes my approach dynamic is addressing the hidden cost of parent brain drain - 25% of employees consider leaving during early parenthood despite evidence showing ambition actually rises after becoming parents. I've developed evidence-based intervention packages that go beyond typical wellness workshops to target the real drivers: mental health, management quality, and workplace relationships. My methodology combines 15 years of clinical psychology with personal experience of severe pregnancy sickness while working as an NHS psychologist. When I nearly lost my own sense of professional identity during that challenge, I realized how many capable parents we're losing from the workforce unnecessarily. The results speak volumes - companies investing in proper perinatal mental health support see measurable improvements in retention and productivity. My team of HCPC-registered psychologists delivers targeted therapy for birth trauma, pregnancy complications, and parenting stress while training managers to create genuinely supportive environments rather than just offering surface-level perks.
Thanks for the interest, but I need to clarify - I'm not a traditional professor but rather a practicing therapist and clinical educator. I serve as faculty at the Parnell Institute where I train other therapists in Attachment-Focused EMDR, and I'm an EMDRIA Approved Consultant supervising therapists seeking EMDR certification. My "classroom" is both the training room and therapy office where I've spent over two decades helping trauma survivors heal. During the pandemic, I coordinated the NYC Trauma Recovery Network, providing EMDR therapy to hundreds of healthcare workers and first responders who were burning out from COVID stress. What makes my teaching approach dynamic is combining real clinical experience with education - I don't just teach theory, I share what actually works in the therapy room. For example, I developed EMDR Intensives (half-day to multi-day sessions) that provide faster healing than traditional weekly therapy, which I now teach to other clinicians. My practice spans both Manhattan and Brooklyn with telehealth options throughout New York State. I specialize in childhood trauma, PTSD, and performance anxiety using evidence-based EMDR techniques that create permanent, life-changing results for clients.
Thanks for the interest, though I should clarify I'm not a traditional university professor but rather a licensed clinical psychologist who "teaches" through deep therapeutic work. My classroom is virtual sessions where I help high-achieving adults who look perfect on paper but are drowning internally. What makes my approach dynamic is going beyond surface-level coping strategies to uncover root wounds. I've found that 70% of my perfectionist clients initially resist slowing down because they're terrified of sitting with underlying shame. My process-oriented method forces them to stay with uncomfortable feelings rather than rushing to "fix" themselves. After 10 years of practice, I've learned that true healing happens when clients find their authentic selves beneath the performance masks. One client went from panic attacks before every work presentation to confidently setting boundaries with toxic colleagues within six months. The breakthrough came when we explored her childhood need to be "perfect" to earn love. I currently have a waitlist until Fall 2025 because this depth work takes time - I recommend giving therapy at least 3 sessions before deciding if it's working. My virtual practice serves Washington DC, Washington State, and Virginia through Everbe Therapy, focusing specifically on anxiety, depression, perfectionism, codependency, and self-esteem issues.
