About me

I'm a social worker who treats adults with mental health concerns, including people 65 and older.

You can see me for support with depression or anxiety. I offer my patients both short-term support when they need help right away and ongoing counseling.

My connection with my patients is at the heart of our work together. I see my role as walking alongside them on the path toward inner peace. Together, we find a balance between acceptance of the present moment and moving toward change.

I came to social work after roles in outdoor leadership, public education and doula support.

My work draws on Buddhist philosophy, feminist theory and the liberation health model, which looks at the whole picture of a person's life. It includes how someone's culture, community and the systems around them affect their well-being.

When I'm not at work, I enjoy hiking, swimming, dancing, reading, singing and cooking.

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.
