As a psychiatrist at the OHSU Student Health & Wellness Center, I’m dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of students during some of the most transformative years of their lives. I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and after years of training and working across the country, I’m grateful to be back in the Pacific Northwest providing care in my home state.

Before joining SHW, I served in a variety of clinical, teaching, and leadership roles — including as Chief Psychiatrist at Oregon State Hospital, a psychiatrist at the VA Portland Health Care System and Director of the OHSU Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Fellowship. My background also includes experience in hospital-based psychiatry and caring for people experiencing homelessness in Boston.

My professional interests include neuropsychiatry, serious and persistent mental illness, and teaching the next generation of healthcare professionals. What I love most about my work is getting to know my patients, helping them navigate challenges, and collaborating to find the tools and strategies that support lasting mental wellness.
