I put a high value on individual stories and tailoring my approach to client needs.
With over fifteen years of experience as a licensed psychologist in Oregon, I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s challenging seasons. My clinical approach is grounded in collaborative, evidenced based care, and I practice primarily as a cognitive behavioral therapist.
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, insomnia, psychosis, relationship problems, and life transitions. I also have expertise in providing care to couples and cross cultural workers. I’m comfortable working with a wide variety of clients and concerns.

Common Questions
Do you take insurance?
I may be able to bill your insurance for therapy. Insurance can be complicated and I am happy to help sort out what benefits are covered or might be reimbursed by your insurer. For example, if your insurance is out of network, I’m able to provide you with a superbill to request reimbursement from your insurance company.
What kind of counseling do I need?
The variety of therapeutic approaches can be confusing (CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT). While certain approaches may be better suited for specific issues, research has consistently shown that the strength of the relationship between the client and the therapist is the biggest predictor of success.
How long do I need to be in therapy?
The timeline varies between clients. Some clients complete six to twelve sessions to navigate a life transition, manage a crisis, or learn specific coping skills. Others may remain in therapy for longer periods of time to address relationship conflicts, to focus on areas of personal growth, or manage a chronic mental health condition.
