Hello, and welcome
I am an Oregon licensed psychologist with a private mental health practice. You will find essential information about my practice here on the home page. Please use the links for a more thorough discussion.

I began in the mental health field at age 19, while still an undergraduate student, and now have nearly 4 decades of experience. That has included settings such as private hospitals, state hospitals, county mental health programs, juvenile probation, teen residential treatment, teen wilderness therapy, drug and alcohol programs, and private practice.

I have offices in Salem and Lake Oswego and I travel to various other sites for consulting, forensic, and volunteer work.
My work hours are generally 9AM to 6PM, and other hours by exception.

4550 SW Kruse Way, Suite 225 Lake Oswego, OR 97035

Please phone my office to discuss other possible arrangements.

Anger, abuse, and violence

Impulse control problems (angry exploding, shopping, stealing, firesetting, hair pulling, etc.)

By glancing at my Curriculum Vita (or resume), you will see that I have a broad range of experience. These experiences have challenged me to grow and have taught me about a wide variety of problems. That is why there are so many specialties in my practice.
Other modes of service I provide are:
