I am a psychotherapist specializing in providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to treat anxiety and depressive disorders. I work with clients of all ages—children, adolescents, and younger and older adults. My work is strength-based, skill-based, collaborative, goal-oriented and supportive. I have over twelve years of experience providing individual and group therapy. I am interested in helping my clients find what makes them feel most happy, purposeful and connected in their lives.

Change often emerges under validating and supportive environment. In individual therapy, I thrive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where mutual trust can occur to facilitate clients’ self-discovery. My style is genuine, empathic, and interactive. I listen with curiosity, pay close attention to my clients' verbal and non-verbal expressions, and aim to align my approaches with their priorities and goals. Together, my clients and I seek to unpack and co-construct meaning out of their life events with self-compassion. I am interested in helping clients get on a path toward working through the psychological trappings that are getting in their way.

In couples therapy, I work toward providing a safe environment to help clients and their partner(s) listen to one another better and communicate more constructively. I am interested in facilitating true emotional engagement for all parties. Attending to relationship dynamics and their family histories, I guide couples to address each partner’s attachment needs.

I earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from The City College of New York and have experience working in public and private hospitals, community mental health centers, and college counseling centers. I am also an Adjunct Clinical Supervisor in the Clinical Psychology PhD Program at The City College of New York and a post-degree candidate of Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis at NYU.

I work with anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, social anxiety, eating disorders, and work with individuals and couples. I am starting two groups online in the the fall for binge eating disorder and an RO DBT skills class.
I am licensed in Oregon and New York states, and support clients bicoastally, both online and in-person. After graduating from Portland State University with a Master of Social Work, I began practicing in 2001 at a 24/7 telehealth center and St. Vincent’s Hospital.

I have taught as adjunct professor at Lewis and Clark College in their Eating Disorder Training and Certificate program. I’m also a member of Columbia River Eating Disorder Network, National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA), NYC EFT, Portland EFT. International Academy for Eating Disorders, and International Association Of Eating Disorders (IAEDP).

I am currently an adjunct professor at Columbia University School of Social Work In New York City.

I’m a psychotherapist with over two decades of experience helping individuals, couples, and families move through the complex and often contradictory realities of being human. My work is grounded in psychodynamic exploration and shaped by a strengths-based belief that people aren’t starting from scratch—they already hold the insight, resilience, and inner resources needed for healing. Therapy offers the support and perspective that allow those parts to emerge.

I draw from a broad and flexible range of modalities—DBT, IFS, AF-EMDR, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and addiction-informed approaches—so the work is responsive, intuitive, and tailored to each person’s needs and inner rhythm.

Collaboration is central to my practice. Clients thrive when the professionals supporting them are aligned, so I welcome close partnership with other clinicians to create thoughtful, coordinated care. I also provide supervision and consultation for therapists who want to deepen their clinical thinking and show up for their clients with clarity, consistency, and humanity.
