I have been practicing family medicine for 17 years, throughout my career I have dealt with prenatal care, postpartum care, pediatrics and the full spectrum of family medicine. I have experienced personally and professionally the hardships of motherhood and have seen its effects on the bodies and minds of women and children throughout their lives. I feel strongly that mothers are a medically underserved population and that we are missing a unique opportunity to make the world a better place and relieve a great part of human suffering.

I am a licensed psychologist in Portland, OR. My current work involves promoting resilience for families, healthcare entities, schools, businesses and individuals. I am a keynote speaker, consultant, coach and mentor to families, healthcare leaders, teachers and businesses. I speak and train on local and national levels. I am endorsed in early childhood mental health and pediatric health. I serve as a member of the Healthcare Reform Taskforce for the Oregon Psychological Association.

As well, I developed a curriculum regarding resilience and interventions to mitigate the effects of childhood adversity. I am a statewide and national trainer on childhood trauma, trauma-informed care and resilience. My current work is promoting resilience within systems such as schools, pediatric medical homes, hospitals, law enforcement agencies and other multi-disciplinary teams.
