About

I am a licensed Psychologist with 17 years of experience treating adults with a variety of emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal difficulties. Treatment I offer focuses on helping people better understand themselves and their emotional patterns, while learning adaptive and constructive ways of coping. In therapy, I develop an interpersonally warm, honest, and collaborative relationship to work toward my patients' goals and help them improve their functioning and life satisfaction. My office is conveniently located in Portland's Laurelhurst neighborhood and numerous free, on-street parking options.

My approach to psychotherapy is largely insight-oriented, addressing longstanding patterns of emotional or interpersonal difficulties. To aid me in modifying these patterns and reaching my patients' goals, I employ a variety of innovative, empirically-supported approaches such as: dialectical-behavioral, skills-based, cognitive-behavioral, and exposure-based.

At the core of my therapeutic approach lies compassion and empathy. I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where clients feel valued and understood. Through a compassionate mindset, I endeavor to not only provide therapy but also to be a source of support and encouragement for those I serve. Please visit my website for further information.
