As a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I provide a compassionate and relational space for adults seeking deep, transformative change.

Licensed in Oregon since 2010, I come to this work with a broad range of clinical and international experience. Before becoming a psychologist, I served as a criminal intelligence analyst at the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague, and before that investigating high level organized crime in Sydney, Australia. Transitioning from a focus on the trauma associated with war crimes or organized crime to the intimate world of psychotherapy allowed me to bring a unique perspective to my clinical work: a profound respect for human complexity and the resilience of the spirit.

Originally from Australia, I have lived in the U.S. since 2004. I completed my doctoral training at George Washington University in Washington DC and spent over a decade in college mental health at Reed College, where I served as the Training Director for many years. While my foundation is in psychodynamic perspectives, my practice has evolved to focus on AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy). This shift allows me to work more actively and relationally with my clients, helping people move toward genuine healing in the here-and-now.
