I see patients atAbout me
I am a mental health professional at OHSU's Intercultural Psychiatric Program. I work with adults and focus on caring for immigrants and refugees.
I know that moving to a new country, adjusting to a new culture and dealing with difficult or traumatic experiences can affect a person's mental health.
I enjoy helping people overcome language and cultural barriers so they can get the care they need. I want everyone to feel welcome and understood.
I provide culturally sensitive mental health support for a range of issues, including:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a condition that can develop after a frightening or traumatic experience
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Stress and difficulties adjusting to major life changes
I believe in providing compassionate care that focuses on each person as an individual. Everyone deserves to feel heard and respected, no matter where they come from or what they have been through. I take time to get to know each person and learn what matters to them. I work to build trust and create a safe space for patients to share their concerns without being judged.
The services I provide include:
- Individual and group mental health support
- Helping people learn ways to cope with stress and manage difficult emotions
- Helping patients recognize their strengths and build skills to handle challenges and work toward their personal goals
- Connecting patients with community resources and other health care services
- Coordinating care with other mental health providers
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, baking, knitting and crocheting. I love spending time outdoors, having weekend picnics with friends and exploring Portland. Family is especially important to me, and I treasure the time I spend with my husband and twin sons.

Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- 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.
- 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.
