Do you find yourself struggling with your emotions? Does it seem like you are overwhelmed by your feelings, or instead that you have to keep a tight lid on your emotions so as not to do damage to your relationships, career and family life? I work well with people who are struggling with feelings of being "stuck" in their lives and with their emotions, and who wonder if there's more to life in terms of vitality and aliveness. I'll aim to help you increase your emotional intelligence so that your emotions work with rather than against you.
I've been in the field since 2000, with a decade long career in the VA/UCSD and trained in research-supported psychotherapy. I'm a nationally recognized subject matter expert in sexuality, couples, trauma/PTSD and veterans. I've published in journals, authored book chapters & lectured on these subjects. I'm certified in AEDP And EFT experiential therapies.
I'm an authentic and emotionally warm therapist described as having an innate gift for psychotherapy. Testimonials: "Dr. Nunnink's reputation for delivering clinical work that promotes transformative change for her clients is unparalleled" and "Dr. Nunnink is one of the most passionate & effective therapists that I've ever met."
