About Dr.Goff

PROFESSIONAL

Guiding parents, those in the perinatal period, and high functioning adults, with expertise, clarity, and care.

 

I've known I wanted to be a clinical psychologist, since I was 10-years-old. I loved learning and loved school, seriously. If I could get paid to go to school, I know I'd be a professional student on the side.

​

I bring over a decade of clinical experience across diverse settings such as community mental health, school-based, inpatient, outpatient, residential, primary care, and OB-GYN. I'm grateful for those opportunities as this breadth of clinical experience allows me to design your treatment specifically for your unique challenges. I offer evidence-based, results-focused therapy designed to help you feel more confident, grounded, and capable despite life's curveballs. I tailor sessions to each client's needs by utilizing techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy, solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness.

​

Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or not like themselves. â€‹Whether you're adjusting to parenthood, navigating a new life transition, trying to find work-life balance, or struggling to set healthy boundaries (yes, I'm speaking to you- people pleasers and "I'm fine" people), our work together will allow you to gain clarity about yourself and your struggles and you will develop practical skills you can use throughout your life. 

​

​I intentionally limit my number of new client intake sessions per month. This allows me to provide focused, individualized care. Here, you are not a number. You're a person. You matter. You're care is my priority. 

​

I am one of the few licensed psychologists certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C).

​

In addition to therapy, I began life coaching during the pandemic. However, I prefer to call it mentoring, as I believe the term mentoring better encompasses the nature of the relationship. I found some of my clients needed support through various life stages, transitions, and circumstances but did not meet criteria for a clinical diagnosis nor were they an appropriate candidate for traditional therapy. 

 

I have experience working with those who identify as poly, KINK, and/or LGBTQ+. This is a safe space.

PERSONAL

I am a proud, mixed Asian American hailing from Hawaii (Hawaii- Yes, that means I love Spam)! 

​

I am a "mom-e," as my kids spell it, to extremely opposite in every way children. My children literally keep me on my toes thanks to all the Legos and Pawl Patrol - didn't you know the staircase is the "best" place for Paw Patrol pups to go on missions? My children have also forced me into KPop Demon Hunters by physically sitting on me and refusing to move until I watched. I was pleased to find the storyline solid with plenty of teaching moments and the music was catchy! Go watch it, if you haven't been forced to already! My oldest tries to humble me everyday. Jokes on him- I know all the lyrics to his "new songs" and I keep telling him I'm actually really cool. He remains unconvinced. I also live with my incredibly patient partner and our lab, who I was told would only shed twice per year...Ha!

 

I have an extreme love for music. So much so that each of my children's names is tied to Liam Gallagher of Oasis. Yes, seriously. I fall somewhere between a hobbyist and semi-pro photographer. I'm aware my headshot is 6-years-old but I'd rather be behind the camera. Work with me and you'll see time has, in fact, passed. If you ask me where I'd like to go eat, I'll tell you Mita's every single time. The hill I will die on:  people who "don't like Spam" simply have not had my Spam Musubi and use of the Oxford comma is a non-negotiable!

"HEY! I THINK I'VE SEEN YOUR NAME SOMEWHERE."

I have been featured in The Bump, Parents Magazine, Self Magazine, Insider, Psych Central and other outlets on various topics. Go here to read them for helpful tips!
