It is actually difficult to say what my "ideal client" would be- an individual who is willing to look at the hard and scary stuff- face it- grow from it- put it beside them and no longer allow it to be what they see the world through. They desire to increase their self-awareness and make changes based on their increased self-awareness- thus finding more comfort in their own skin.
Hi there! I am a trilingual psychotherapist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from NYU and hold a Bachelor of Music from UC Santa Barbara. Throughout my career in private, community, and digital health settings, I have specialized in supporting both pediatric and adult populations through multi-state telehealth. My primary areas of expertise include working with clients managing anxiety, behavioral challenges, life transitions, and crisis intervention. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward growth and healing!
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who holds a master’s degree in nursing from Frontier Nursing University. As an independent practitioner I can diagnose and treat mental health conditions with full prescriptive authority and order diagnostic labs as appropriate. With nearly 15 years of nursing experience, my passion for patient and family-centered care has evolved from working the on the front lines as an ICU RN during the covid-19 pandemic to addressing the mental health crisis impacting all of our communities as a nurse practitioner.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience in mental health care, supporting individuals across inpatient and outpatient settings. Through my work, I have cared for clients with a wide range of needs, including chronic and severe mental health conditions, and I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate symptoms while trying to maintain daily life.
My care philosophy is centered on partnership. Treatment is not about taking over your care, but about working with you to explore your symptoms, goals, and values. Together, we develop a treatment plan that feels respectful, personalized, and empowering. If you have concerns or hesitations about medication, we will discuss all available options openly and thoughtfully, moving at a pace that feels right for you.
I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, and other mood and thought-related conditions. During the initial session, we focus on understanding your concerns, reviewing your history, and identifying practical steps toward improvement. Care may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, brief psychotherapy, education, and ongoing support.
I believe mental health care should feel supportive, clear, and collaborative—not rushed or overwhelming.
You do not have to face these challenges alone. My role is to help you reduce symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and regain balance so you can function at your best and move forward with confidence and stability.

My specialty interests include anxiety, depression, stress, family conflict, and grief. My educational background include a Bachelors of Social Work, Masters of Social Work, and a Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology.

Throughout my three decades as a therapist, I have discovered that one of the most important skills I have developed is the ability to listen deeply. Along the way, I have gained a broad range of therapeutic tools and approaches, but I have learned that meaningful change begins when people feel truly heard. My mentors are the horse whisperers. I believe they listen with their whole body. They trust the intuitive nature of their horse. I like to think that I use some of this as I work with each client, trusting their intuitive nature. Together we are learning what is present in the room, gaining new insights and feeling more empowered.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Portland
Searching for therapists in Portland starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Portland has many therapists across neighborhoods like the Pearl District, Hawthorne, Sellwood, and downtown, with experience supporting people living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and background match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, including whether they use methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a major metro like Portland, having many choices can make it harder to narrow your search. Start with the practical details that shape whether a therapist is a usable fit: office location, appointment availability, virtual or in-person sessions, and whether they are accepting new patients. If you prefer in-person care, consider commute time, transit access, parking, and how the office fits into your routine. If your schedule changes often, virtual therapy may make it easier to meet with a therapist who fits your calendar. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist communicates, structures sessions, and describes what working together may look like.
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 make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for Portland therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and see real appointment availability in one place. You can compare therapists by specialty, format, schedule, and approach, then book directly when you find someone who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
