Welcome

I am a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and psychoanalyst, in private practice in Portland, Oregon. I provide psychiatric care for adults suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship problems, difficulties in work or school, effects of past trauma, and other forms of psychological pain.

My practice is built upon individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, as I believe talk therapy is the most effective means by which to address the underlying causes of mental suffering and achieve real understanding and change. I see clients one to five times per week, for as long as necessary. I offer medication management only as an adjunctive treatment for those whom I see for talk therapy. I do not conduct psychiatric evaluations for purposes other than mental health treatment, such as evaluations required for an employer or school, legal proceedings, disability benefits, or medical clearance.

Please call or email if you would like to discuss an evaluation towards beginning treatment.
