You might be struggling with conditions like anxiety, depression, grief or addictions. I get it; many of us face unprecedented pressures and stressors today. I know how important it is for you to have open, genuine conversations where you feel truly heard and understood. After completing my MSW degree at the University of Kansas, I began practicing and have been licensed for 23 years. I have advanced training in Mindful Self Compassion therapy.

I understand grief, addiction and general overload from personal experience. Having navigated many difficult issues, it is my pleasure to help others navigate their own struggles. I offer online appointments throughout the week and in person appointments in Beaverton on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I look forward to working with you for solutions.

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Portland

Finding OCD therapists in Portland starts with looking for training that matches obsessive-compulsive disorder concerns. OCD can include intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination fears, rumination, and harm-related obsessions. Some therapists may use structured approaches to support people with OCD, and a qualified mental health professional can help determine what type of care may be appropriate. Not all therapists are trained in ERP, so look for this modality in bios when comparing therapists for obsessive thoughts, pure O concerns, or anxiety and OCD therapy near you.

Portland has many therapy options across neighborhoods like downtown, the Pearl District, Southeast Portland, and nearby areas, which can make narrowing the search more complex. Consider whether an in-person office works with your commute, transit route, or schedule, or whether virtual appointments give you more flexibility. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond a therapist who lists OCD as a specialty and review whether their bio mentions ERP training, exposure work, anxiety and OCD experience, or structured session plans. You can also compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.

Therapy in Portland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find therapists who focus on OCD, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are accepting new clients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, read therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
