Who we are
Anxiety and depression have impacted so many of us in profound ways. Navigating the path of our mental health can be as challenging and difficult as traversing stormy seas. It is this journey through rough waters that when we become overwhelmed, limited by our stressors, and struggle to cope through complicated and difficult experiences, that we all need extra support. My goal is to support you in your voyage through the unknown; to provide you with some of the tools you need to pilot your own ship towards your destination; to empower you to be your own captain.
My aim is to learn about you, collaborate with you, and understand your goals and priorities. I specialize in assessment, medication management and support. I can also provide appropriate referral information to therapists and other care providers as we together come to understand your 'big picture’, to ensure your needs are addressed, holistically.
I strive to provide high-level, high-quality care to those challenged by mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, and other challenging mental health situations. I am located in the Portland, OR area and meet with clients in a virtual setting, and so, geography within Oregon and Washington is of little limitation.
