Clinic Appointments
Additional Information
I currently am in network with Cigna, BCBS, Moda, Pacific Source insurance and private pay clients at this location. Please contact your insurance in advance to get coverage details for your policy.
Your initial appointment will be one hour long and will focus on what is most important to you, the details of your history necessary for a diagnosis and the development of a treatment plan.
Follow up appointments are 30 minutes and occur at one month intervals while medications are being changed. Once stable, follow ups occur every 90 days.
More frequent and extended appointments, are available to establish patients, as well as remote and in home visits (for an extra fee).
A credit card on file will be required to book. You will not be charged if you cancel with at least a 24 hour notice, or emergencies requiring you to reschedule. Otherwise, missed appointments with less than 24 hour notice will be charged $75. Please be aware of the same day cancellation fee. This is not meant to be punitive, but there is a lot of preparation that goes into your appointment and with less than 24 hour notice the appointment time is not able to be filled by another patient. By scheduling an appointment , you are consenting to this policy.
Email me for any questions, scheduling issues, or if you do not find a time that works for you.
About me
I aim to create a nonjudgemental space that is open, creative and healing.
I am originally from the Midwest, graduating from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in 2014. I completed my residency at the University of Utah, where I served as a chief resident. My work has included consult and liaison psychiatry, inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric emergency rooms, as well as outpatient treatment.
I have an interest in the biology of resilience, and enjoy teaching. I have given lectures to medical students, PA students and community providers on topics such as sleep, capacity, delirium, dementia, personality disorders, psychedelics and substance use. I am currently an assistant professor at OHSU, continuing my work with medical students and residents.
I have training in focused therapy for anxiety, OCD and depression. My therapy approach is existential in basis, utilizing CBT principles and integrating mindfulness practices.
I strive to be practical, thoughtful, while practicing evidence based medicine. My goal is to allow one to be optimally positioned to focus on the psychological and environmental underpinnings of distress. I provide a professional, personalized, private, treatment experience that involves both medication and therapy. My goals of treatment are to be responsive, thoughtful and provide education about disorders and treatment. My prescribing practices include limiting the use of controlled substances.

Therapy
Depression
Depression presents in many forms with biologic and environmental causes. I will work with you to help resolve heart and mind incongruencies, while working to change behaviors that exacerbate negative mood states.
Existential Therapy
Human connection, purpose, meaning and intention, all conspire to free people. Discovering how to allow these powerful tenets to influence the present moment, can create choice born from awareness, while reducing emotional discomfort.
Anxiety and OCD
Anxiety and OCD can be debilitating, an endless feedback loop of physical and mental acts that leaves one feeling frustrated and frozen. Using CBT principles we can work together to decrease your distress and improve your functioning.
