My goal is to create a safe, supportive space for you to share your experiences at your own pace. Patients often say they feel 'hopeful" by the end of the visit. They mention being put at ease and their initial anxiety was relieved. They feel less uncertain and less overwhelmed. I listen to you.

I love being out in Nature. I love Oregon because of the natural beauty, the rivers and the Oregon Coast. I take lots of wildlife photography which gets me outside, active, doing something positive.
