Hi, I'm Michael — a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in both Oregon and California. I believe that feeling truly heard is the foundation of good psychiatric care, and I bring that belief into every appointment.

I earned my Master of Science in Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing from Regis College and have built my clinical background across a range of settings that gave me deep insight into the complexity of mental health. That breadth of experience shapes the thoughtful, whole-person approach I bring to my work today. I am solution oriented with the intention of bringing all that I have learned over the years to the table to get you to your best, thriving self.

I specialize in adult and geriatric populations and provide evidence-based care for depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, and sleep disorders. My treatment approach integrates psychopharmacology with individual therapy modalities including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Positive Validation — because medication is only one supportive tool.

I also bring a holistic perspective to mental health care — as a trained Reiki Master, I recognize that healing extends beyond medication alone and encompasses the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I maintain an awareness of integrative and complementary approaches, including energy work, sound therapy, acupuncture, and plant medicine, and welcome open, nonjudgmental conversations with clients who are exploring or curious about these paths.

I currently offer telehealth appointments, and I'm committed to creating a warm, culturally competent space where clients feel safe being honest about what they're going through. Whether you're seeking care for the first time or looking for a provider who will truly partner with you in your mental health journey, I'd be honored to work with you.

I work with individuals navigating behavioral challenges, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, relationship concerns, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and a variety of other emotional and mental health concerns. With more than twenty years of experience in Christian ministry, pastoral counseling, workshop facilitation, coaching, and governmental law, I bring a diverse and compassionate perspective to my work with individuals seeking healing and personal growth.

In 2011, I returned to school to earn a Master's degree in Clinical Counseling, followed by a Doctorate in Psychology. After completing my education, I founded the iFS Center in the Eugene community, which now provides services through a secure telehealth platform.

My approach is integrative and solution-focused, combining evidence-based therapeutic practices with compassionate, individualized care.

If you're feeling stuck, challenged, or noticing yourself repeating patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Many people reach a point where they feel unsure about how to move forward or how to live in a way that feels more aligned with who they truly are. Together, we can work through these burdens and begin exploring what may be keeping you from experiencing the life you want. If you're not sure what your goals are or what might be preventing you from moving forward, that is a perfectly valid place to begin—or continue—your path toward change, clarity, and healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Counseling and a secondary focus in Art Therapy. My background allows me to incorporate both traditional therapeutic approaches and creative expression when helpful, offering multiple ways to explore emotions, gain insight, and support meaningful personal growth.

Happy patient looking away

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.
