About Me

With over two decades of experience in mental health care, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. My approach is grounded in creating a personalized path toward healing, empowering you to live a more present and fulfilling life.

My Background

My journey in medicine began at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy and my Medical Degree. I later moved to Portland to complete my psychiatry residency at Oregon Health and Science University.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of partnering with hundreds of patients on their healing journeys. These experiences have deepened my commitment to exploring innovative therapies that improve both mental well-being and life circumstances.

Recognizing the growing potential of psychedelic medicine, I pursued advanced training at the California Institute of Integral Studies, earning a Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy and Research. I also completed the Oregon Psilocybin Facilitator Training with Fluence and gained specialized expertise in mindfulness meditation, ecotherapy, psychedelic integration, and harm reduction.

Currently, I am working toward becoming REMS-certified to offer FDA-approved Spravato for treatment-resistant depression. My Portland-based practice blends traditional psychiatry with cutting-edge, evidence-based therapies, fostering a holistic approach to mental health that emphasizes balance, resilience, and self-discovery.

If you are in the Portland area and seeking a compassionate, tailored approach to mental wellness, I would be honored to support you on your journey to healing and growth.
