I believe in building a relationship of trust and support. You are not a problem to be fixed but a person to be empowered.

My communication style as a therapist is direct yet empathetic, helping clients feel heard while guiding them toward actionable steps. I balance being supportive with a solution-focused approach, emphasizing progress and accountability. I am also able to adapt to meet each client's unique needs, creating a safe and respectful therapeutic environment.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe and genuine conversation. My role is to listen closely, help you feel understood, and work with you to uncover patterns that may be holding you back. I draw on both psychotherapy and psychiatry, so we can address the whole picture—your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and, when helpful, medication support. I value collaboration and tailor treatment to each person’s unique story and goals. My hope is that our work together not only eases current struggles but also helps you grow in ways that feel meaningful and lasting.

Accepting new clients remotely and in person. I've practiced psychotherapy for over 40 years, and during most of that time also taught psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins Medical School. My areas of specialization are bipolar type 2 and borderline personality condition. I've also worked with many entrepreneurs since the publication of my book, The Hypomanic Edge: The Link Between (a Little) Craziness and (a Lot of) Success in America. What's different about me is that after receiving traditional training, I've integrated it with meditation. Mindfulness, especially when combined with therapy, provides calm, objective self-awareness that leads to self-control, which may lessen the need for medication. More meditation can mean less medication. More recently, I'm working with research subjects who have undergone psilocybin therapy for a book, "The Cosmic Consciousness Cure." Affecting the same brain areas as meditation, psilocybin therapy produces a quantum leap in mindfulness. I'd be happy to speak with anyone seeking legal psilocybin treatment. I can't provide it, but it is now legally available in Oregon, and I would be happy to work with clients on integrating that experience.

I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment that allows each person the freedom to experience and work through problems, develop solutions, and get constructive feedback at the same time. As a clinical psychologist and counselor with over 30 years of experience, my work with individuals and couples allows personal and relational strengths to become resources and tools for positive life changes.

Are you feeling overwhelmed to the point that is effecting your focus or ability to sleep at night? Do you find your self feeling sad or not feeling anything at all and you can't see to enjoy even your favorite activities and interests? I am a licensed professional counselor who has been helping people experience breakthough in their minds and emotions for over 6 years. I have a fiery passion for helping people gain insight into their patterns of behavior, including linking their past to their present. I have a compassionate, client-led approach to therapy, tailoring the work that I do to each individual client. I start by completing a comprehensive intake assessment where I screen each person who comes to see me for various mental health conditions. I always provide information along the way and share with clients what I observe and any diagnoses that I assess them with. Then I work with the person to develop a comprehensive treatment plan to identify the goals and objectives of therapy within the first month of counseling. Within the working process, I combine compassionate, empathetic listening with teaching practice skills to provide an avenue for making change possible.
