About Me

https://www.selahvietherapy.com/ Experienced psychologist in the Bay Area specializing in trauma, growth, and resilience. By combining skilled therapy with compassionate guidance, I support the emotional well-being of youth and adults- fostering meaningful, lasting change that goes beyond therapy. When I’m not in the therapy room, you can find me traveling, in a independent bookstore far too long, or chasing my toddler around practicing the self-regulation I practice with clients. I’m a lifelong Bay Area native.
