About me

I am a licensed psychologist with specialized training in health psychology. 

I use evidence-based interventions specifically developed to target the management of gastrointestinal symptoms and disorders, and related emotional distress and adjustment to chronic illness. 

I use cognitive-behavioral techniques along with complementary interventions such as gut-directed clinical hypnosis. I have experience working with individuals experiencing a wide range of functional and structural GI disorders, often with overlapping medical complexity.

My research interests include adjustment to chronic illness, risk and resilience factors related to surgical outcomes and recovery trajectories, pain management and improving quality of life for those living with gastrointestinal disorders.

Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
