Mental Health Therapy & Medication Management in Portland
With over 18 years of experience in psychiatric care, I specialize in providing individual psychotherapy and medication management for children and adults. My practice focuses on addressing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and bipolar disorder through evidence-based approaches including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I prioritize warm, compassionate care balanced with direct communication to help clients achieve meaningful progress. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in Oregon, I hold advanced training in mental health treatment and maintain a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care.While my practice primarily involves in-person sessions, I offer limited telehealth options to ensure continuity of care. I believe integrated treatment combining therapy and medication management leads to better outcomes, reduced medication needs, and higher patient satisfaction. I collaborate closely with therapists when providing medication services to ensure comprehensive care. My educational background includes a Master's Degree in Nursing from Oregon Health & Science University, alongside dual bachelor's degrees in Nursing and Psychology. I work with both in-network and out-of-network insurance plans to improve accessibility to mental health services.
