Media & Conversations

I love a good conversation, especially one that challenges me to think differently or introduces me to something I hadn't considered before.

 

Over the years, I've enjoyed opportunities to share my perspectives on psychology, relationships, and the many questions that come with being human, while learning from others along the way.

Here are some of those conversations, interviews, and articles.

Standing Rock Water Protectors

​

In this interview with Elaine B. Holtz and Anika Salguaro to discuss the Standing Rock water protectors, corporate greed, and what happens when profits are prioritized over people and the planet. We also talked about the importance of connection and community, and how wanting to do something led me to draw on my experience organizing events to bring people together for a community benefit in solidarity with Standing Rock.

Let's Have a Conversation

​

Are you looking for a guest for your podcast, an interview, or a psychological perspective for an article?

​

I enjoy conversations that invite curiosity, explore different perspectives, and deepen our understanding of ourselves and one another. I'm happy to contribute to discussions about psychology, relationships, trauma, somatic approaches, and the many ways our experiences shape how we live.

​

If you think my perspective might be a good fit for something you're working on, I'd love to hear from you.

"Dr. Loi has helped me be able to listen to the underdeveloped parts of myself with compassion. Integration of the body into therapy has given me the ability to identify joy and also place necessary boundaries to protect and respect myself on this journey of life. Being able to face the world authentically and as a whole person, makes me feel like a complete human and that is pure joy."
