Stepping Into the Inner Cabin
You’re not just looking for a prescription. You’re looking for someone who will listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and take the time to understand you.
You’re Not Alone Psychiatry is a telepsychiatry practice for adults throughout Oregon, rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and thoughtful care.
Psychiatry here is not one-size-fits-all. A diagnosis can be useful, but it is never the whole person. I want to understand your symptoms in the context of your story, relationships, medical health, experiences, strengths, patterns, and the life you want to live.
Depending on what you need, our work may include psychiatric evaluation, medication, deprescribing, psychotherapy, lifestyle approaches, integrative psychiatry—or some combination that evolves over time.
Beginning Our Work Together
Our work begins with a Complimentary 15-minute Meet & Greet, an opportunity to meet briefly and determine whether my practice and your needs appear to be a good fit.
If we decide to work together, the next step is an Initial Psychiatric Evaluation. I want our first clinical meeting to be about understanding you rather than rushing immediately toward a prescription.
After I have had time to consider what we’ve discussed, we meet again for Your Personalized Care Plan. I’ll share my understanding of what may be happening, answer your questions, and we’ll discuss treatment options and decide together where to begin.
From there, follow-up care is individualized and may change as your needs change.

What I Can Help With
People come to me with concerns that may include:
Who I Work With
I work especially well with people who want to be active participants in their care and who value curiosity, reflection, and collaboration.
You may be looking for a fresh perspective on a diagnosis or treatment plan. You may have felt rushed or misunderstood in previous care. You may want to understand yourself more deeply rather than simply suppress symptoms. Or you may be doing reasonably well on the outside while knowing that something inside needs attention.
You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what is wrong or what kind of treatment you need. Figuring that out is part of the work we can do together.

How We Might Work Together
Your care may draw from several paths:
Diagnostic Clarity
A careful, collaborative evaluation of symptoms, history, context, and previous diagnoses.
Medication Management
Thoughtful prescribing and ongoing review grounded in evidence, clinical judgment, and your goals.
Deprescribing
Careful evaluation and medically supervised reduction of psychiatric medication when appropriate.
Integrative Psychiatry
Considering mental and physical health together and incorporating appropriate complementary approaches alongside conventional psychiatric care.
Lifestyle Psychiatry
Exploring how movement, nutrition, sleep, protection, regulation, and connection influence mental health.
Psychotherapy
Using therapeutic approaches selected for the individual rather than forcing every person into a single model.
Geriatric Psychiatry
Compassionate support for the unique mental health needs of older adults, including memory changes, grief, and life transitions.
We’ll decide together which approaches make sense for you and revisit those decisions as your needs evolve.
Why I Do This Work
People often ask me why I chose psychiatry. The truth is, I didn’t just choose it, it called me.
I have always been endlessly curious about people: their inner lives, contradictions, resilience, and the stories they carry. Psychiatry gives me a way to bring together medicine, psychology, science, and the deeply human experience of trying to make sense of our lives.
I consider being trusted with another person’s story a privilege.
