Originally from Canada, my love of nature and the great outdoors recently brought me out to the Pacific Northwest. I am a board certified psychiatrist and psychodynamic psychotherapist in private practice in Portland. My desire is to help clients grow by understanding themselves more intuitively and using that to intentionally adjust perspectives and responses to life's challenges. I maintain a curious and non-judgmental attitude in order to facilitate understanding and growth. I also integrate skills-based approaches and medications when clinically indicated. I have worked in a range of outpatient settings, providing psychotherapy (eg. CBT, DBT, IPT, PDT), medication management, and interventional treatments (eg. KIT, TMS) to adult patients. Within psychiatry, my passion is psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy, though I’m also interested in consciousness models, psychedelics and neuroscience. I offer cash pay and superbills for individuals seeking out of network (OON) coverage. I am in network with Regence BCBS and can arrange single case agreements for individuals with Moda Health to see me at an in-network benefit level of coverage.
