Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Eugene, OR

I have served aging people since I began working, the last 20+ years as a psychologist. Now, having aged into the group, I understand what it is to live with issues of aging, including the family, health and career / retirement issues that go along with that both personally and professionally. I am here to help others write their personalized how-to manual for a happier second half of life.

I work with adults who may feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, disconnection, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty feeling safe and grounded in their own lives. So often, hard or overwhelming experiences leave a lasting mark, quietly shaping how we feel, how we relate to others, and how at home we feel in ourselves. The good news is that you don’t have to keep carrying that weight alone. Whatever brought you here, you’ve found a warm and caring place to start, and my hope is to help you feel more steady, connected, and like yourself again, at a pace that feels right for you. I'm currently available Thursdays/Fridays for October and switching to availability on Mondays/Tuesdays/Wednesdays in November.

I'm a clinical social worker who has worked with a diverse population of clients. I hold a particular interest in working with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and loss.

My client focus

While I have worked with a wide variety of clients from youth to adult, I have a particular passion for working with individuals and families struggling with depression, anxiety, chronic health issues, grief, and loss. I have many years of experience supporting people providing care to a loved one in particular.

My communication style

I am known for a kind but direct approach. I strive to help clients feel comfortable and supported.

How I help clients reach goals

From our first appointment, I will work with you in setting goals for therapy. As part of our initial meeting, we will talk about what you want your life to look like at the end of our work together.

My journey to becoming a provider

When talking about my journey becoming a therapist, I always start out by letting people know that social work found me and I'm so glad it did! In my journey as a therapist, I started out running groups, which I have enjoyed for many years. I was later drawn to working with people individually.

I have been a practicing Psychiatric and Mental Health Provider for 10 years. I engage with clients from a therapy standpoint as well as a psychopharmacologic one. I see medication as a tool to help you engage in deep, inner transformation. I work with clients ages 18+. Health professionals struggling with burnout, those interested in or proficient in meditation, those who struggle with work life balance, those who are wanting to live their lives with clarity, compassion, and purpose are all especially benefitted by the work I do.
