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

My primary appointment is in the Department of Psychiatry at OHSU, where I work as a clinical neuropsychologist in our Adult Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic. I also hold part-time roles in the OHSU Wellness Consult Service for Leaders and Teams and the OHSU Resident and Faculty Wellness Program (RFWP). I serve as the Associate Director of both the Division of Psychology and the RFWP.

I grew up in Portland and began my study of psychology at the University of Oregon. I later completed my master’s degree (Counseling Psychology) and Ph.D. (Clinical Psychology) at the University of California at Santa Barbara. I specialized in clinical neuropsychology while interning at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System and with a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan Medical School.

In addition to roles in neuropsychology and healthcare workforce well-being, I am interested and active in environmental sustainability, the role of climate change in human health/mental health and the role of health care workers in climate action.

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.
