Hello! I am a Marriage & Family Therapist, licensed in OR and CA, and have a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. I offer holistic psychotherapy to adults with an accepting, calm, and compassionate approach. Many of my clients are busy people with multifaceted lives, and deal with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, depression, grief and loss, and relationship concerns. Other clients reach out with work or career worries, creative blocks, spiritual matters, or for personal growth. I work from a Jungian perspective, so at times might incorporate dream work, symbolism and synchronicity into our work together. Ultimately though, I will meet you where you are and incorporate the tools best suited for you.

I’m a psychiatrist who practices from a psychodynamic perspective, with attention to emotional depth, meaning, and the ways our histories shape how we experience ourselves and others. My work focuses on understanding symptoms in context — as expressions of what is happening within your mind, your relationships, and our society.
