Professional counseling and psychotherapy in Portland, Oregon
Pain is inevitable.
Suffering isn’t.
As a psychologist and counselor, I work to help people hold their pain with compassion, so they can enjoy their lives. I’m experienced treating a range of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, and others. I’m trained in a variety of psychotherapy methods supported by research. While I try to use the most effective treatments available, I’m careful to tailor them to the unique needs of each individual. A unique aspect to my practice is that I am also a clinical researcher, which allows me to stay current on the newest research on mindfulness, meditation, and trauma. I have another website devoted to the treatment of trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder, a passion of mine.
I believe in transparency in the therapy process. I try to give people an idea of what treatment may look like within the first few sessions. When appropriate, I try to offer clients the option of more structured, time-limited treatment protocols. My goal is to help people develop the skills to continue to improve their lives long after their treatment has ended.
