I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides client-centered individual therapy and assessment. In addition to my private practice, I have worked in the VA Health Care System, community healthcare settings, and a university counseling center. I served as the Evidence Based Psychotherapy Coordinator for the Portland VA Medical Center for several years. I have provided clinical training and supervision to psychology graduate students, predoctoral interns and postdoctoral fellows. I have also conducted research on female sexuality, and have published several empirical articles in this area (to see a list of publications and selected presentations, click here).
