Thank you for visiting my website.  I am a clinical psychologist practicing in Portland, Oregon.  Below is a summary of the services I offer.

THERAPY:  My areas of expertise in therapy include pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety, adolescent therapy, mood and anxiety disorders, grief counseling, trauma recovery, life transitions, relationship issues, perinatal loss, and stress management. 

Seeking therapy is a personal decision, often arrived at during a particularly stressful time of life.  As a therapist, I strive to provide a warm, accepting environment in which we can openly discuss your concerns, and work together towards improving your life. 

FORENSIC EVALUATIONS:  My area of expertise is criminal forensic psychological evaluations, including competency, sanity, aid-in-sentencing, and risk assessment.  I conduct comprehensive evaluations based on up-to-date assessment instruments and empirical research, and convey my clinical findings, verbally and in writing, in a legally useful manner.  I am comfortable and skilled in advocating for my data in legal settings. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or to discuss setting up an initial consultation.
