Welcome! I’m a clinical psychologist (lic. #3715) based in Portland, Oregon specializing in health psychology and the mind-body.

I have extensive training in the psychology of medical conditions and a rich background in treating people with chronic pain and chronic illnesses, especially postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). Through my work I came to understand how trauma impacts the nervous system to contribute to chronic conditions, and how ongoing traumatic encounters interfere with healing. Many of my patients have histories of abusive and invalidating childhoods and experiences of medical trauma and gaslighting. As a result, trauma treatment has become an integral part of my everyday therapy practice.

My friends, colleagues, and clients describe me as warm, friendly, and safe (isn’t that nice?). In my free time, I like playing games and doing puzzles, going for beautiful hikes, watching Real Housewives (sorry!), and playing with my cat, Bren.
