Speak your mind, hear your self

I am a registered associate psychotherapist in the state of Oregon (R8129) under the supervision of Sarah Baird, PsyD (2094). I grew up in the greater Los Angeles area, and have lived abroad and in rural Georgia for a number of years before setting down roots in Portland. 

For as long as I can remember, I have harbored a distinctive interest in the transformation of emotional and physical pain. A lover of language and expression, I earned degrees in philosophy and psychology, including a doctorate from the University of West Georgia. My dissertation looks at the Internet as a social and cultural engine for upending our speech, our relationship to needs and their satisfaction, our interpersonal relationships, and the creation and destruction of communities.
