Accepting new patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

I am a clinical social worker who specializes in providing behavioral health therapy for survivors of trauma. I provide a variety of treatments, including: 

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Dialectical behavioral therapy
  • Acceptance and commitment therapy

I have over 20 years of experience working in social services and behavioral healthcare. My clinical career began in community mental health on the south side of Chicago, where I provided individual and group behavioral health services to individuals with severe and persistent mental illness.

I believe in working collaboratively with patients to help them access self-efficacy, improve their quality of life, and achieve upward mobility through a strengths-based, culturally informed approach.

I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time with my several adopted shelter pets in my free time. I also enjoy learning through reading and travel.

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.
