ABOUT
I'm Eva Papp, a psychotherapist (LMHC, Washington State) with 25 years of clinical experience. I help people come back to who they are so they can meet life with clarity and confidence.
The Active Authenticity framework I developed offers a practical path to living from your own center — with the kind of impact and success that supports your happiness and wellbeing rather than coming at a cost. Active Authenticity draws upon my experience with integrative medicine, interpersonal neurobiology, and the relational dynamics of clinical work; its purpose is to help you become skilled at the four zones of authenticity—learn more below.
This same framework, adapted for the realities of nursing, is what I'll be teaching at Seattle University this fall.

JOURNEY TO YOUR WILD AUTHENTIC
“A practical handbook on how to live in alignment with who you are to access the many benefits, impact, and wellbeing that come from being yourself.”
“Papp presents clear steps, exercises, and insights that will help her readers grasp her guidance... She writes with careful consideration of the readers' life experiences, offering approaches that are both versatile and perceptive... The glossary clarifies more abstract concepts, while the book's pointed questions, step-by-step solutions, checklists, and real-life examples—including a refreshing breakdown of how to view saying "no" in more constructive ways—make her advice especially useful." —Publisher's Weekly Booklife Prize
