I’m a licensed psychologist in Oregon with more than 16 years of experience. I received my Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in psychology from the University of Georgia, and I received my Master of Arts (MA) and Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) degrees in clinical psychology from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology. I then completed an APA-approved internship at the University of Oregon, University Counseling and Testing Center and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Denver, Health & Counseling Center.

I’ve worked with a wide range of clients in a variety of different settings, including college counseling centers, an eating disorders treatment program, VA medical centers and women’s clinic, integrated primary care, and group private practice. In 2020, I started my private practice, Phoenix Rising Therapy, LLC.

While I consider myself a generalist, my passion lies in helping people heal from past pain and trauma, with a specialty in EMDR. I offer integrative psychotherapy, adapting interventions to each client’s individual needs and goals and providing evidence-informed and culturally affirming treatment for trauma, anxiety, depression, and related concerns.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing guitar, practicing yoga, riding my electric bike, and spending time with my wife and dog. I moved to Portland from Eugene just over a year ago and am enjoying exploring Portland’s many neighborhoods and amazing array of restaurants.
