UNDERSTAND YOUR STORY, CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION.
Through therapy, I can help you understand how you became who you are,
and then choose who you want to become.
WElcome to my practice
After over 20 years in practice, I have learned to approach my work with a mixture of compassion, emotional generosity, humor, and pragmatism - balancing reflection with forward movement. Together, we can explore how you became who you are, and help you choose who you want to become.
I draw on multiple therapeutic approaches, tailoring our work to what works best for you. I can help you navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and loneliness. At the heart of my practice is a belief that we are fundamentally relational beings — and that building healthy connections, including how we see ourselves, is essential to therapy.
I’m licensed in both Oregon and California, and offer in-person and online sessions in Bend and Los Angeles. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I have a background in art therapy and work in both English and Spanish. Through my Oregon practice, I also offer therapy intensives — longer sessions over consecutive days, conducted walking or hiking in Bend’s natural surroundings — for those seeking deeper, focused work.
SERVICES
THERAPY SERVICES
Psychotherapy for adults, teens, children, couples and families addressing life changes, motivation, depression, anxiety. I also work specifically with fertility, perimenopause and menopause.
CONSULTING
I offer consulting services for screenwriting, writing, and therapy-related businesses as an expert in understanding diagnoses, the complexity of personality, and human behavior.
Therapy Intensives
Let’s take our sessions outside. We can start in-office and continue outside or we can hold our sessions walking through natural beauty. These sessions are not fitness dependent: we can sit and stroll slowly, walk an easy flat trail, or find some elevation.
Expert Witness
I specialize in building rapport quickly to provide comprehensive psychological interviews, assessments, and reports in civil and criminal cases. My work is based on integrity, objectivity and clarity.
