About
I specialize in helping people who may appear to others as high-functioning, high-achievers, who have it “all together," but on the inside they experience suffering. The people I work with often attempt to suppress their emotions and needs in order to achieve success in their career, college, relationships, and other life goals. They are usually achievement-oriented, detail-focused, driven, ambitious, and place high standards on themselves and others. Although their qualities may help with pushing through struggles to achieve success, limiting emotional expression can result in long-term negative effects. I offer current, science-based therapy that can assist you with improving your life. My approach focuses on taking risks to try out new behavior, learning new skills to increase social connection, living more aligned with your values, and taking action that changes not just the way you think about your past, but the way you live in the present. I have a bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree in psychology, and I have completed a postdoctoral residency. I am one of only five psychologists in Portland, Oregon who are board certified in clinical psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP), which is considered the highest level of certification for psychologists.
