Most people arrive knowing something needs to change. Sometimes they can name it exactly. Sometimes it is only a signal that the way things are going is not working. Either one is enough to start. I work with adults in demanding careers. Media and entertainment, military and politics, professional athletics, law. High-visibility work that leaves little room to be a beginner at anything. Sessions are educational and forward-looking. We name what keeps happening, build the skill the change takes, and rehearse it against your real week. I am not a licensed therapist or psychologist, and what I offer is not therapy.
One-to-one sessions, practice groups, and courses. The method is three moves. Reflect: see what keeps happening. Learn: build the skill the change takes, in a version that fits your values, your culture, and your actual week. Evolve: practice it where it counts, with support through the stretch where it feels unfamiliar. Free 15-minute intro call.
Athletes watch game film. They sit with a recording of last week and mark what keeps repeating. It is real work and it changes nothing by itself. That is why they still go to practice. If something needs to change and you are ready to work on it, that is what this is. If you want therapy instead, or alongside this, say so and I will share a referral list.

Psychologist, PsyD
Dr. Moreno is brilliant! Her presence is magnetic. I don't think I've met someone who shines as brightly as her, and thus attracts other human stars in her orbit. Grateful to know her; others that she meets sees more deeply their brilliance.

Sessions borrow skills from established behavioral and mindfulness approaches and teach them as skills, not as treatment. The structure is simple. See what keeps happening. Build the skill. Practice it under real conditions. I do not diagnose or treat any condition. If you want therapy instead, or alongside this, say so and I will share a referral list.
