Online Therapy Across Oregon
My practice offers teletherapy sessions (as well as in person) for individuals and couples.
Compassionate and evidence-based therapy — wherever you are in Oregon.
Whether you're in Portland, Bend, Eugene, Ashland, Coos Bay or anywhere in between, teletherapy makes it possible to work together without geography getting in the way. I offer secure video sessions for individuals and couples throughout the state of Oregon.
What is Teletherapy?
Teletherapy means receiving therapy via secure, interactive video — on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone — from a private space of your choosing. It is not a lesser version of in-person therapy. For many clients, it is genuinely preferable: no commute, more scheduling flexibility, and the comfort of a familiar environment.
Research consistently shows that teletherapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person sessions for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and sexual health. For many of the issues I work with — emotion regulation, stress, communication, intimacy — the evidence for online delivery is strong.
How It Works In My Practice
I use a HIPAA-compliant electronic health record with a secure client portal. When it's time for your session, the platform sends you a link that opens directly into a private virtual waiting room — no app downloads required. A reliable, private wifi connection and a quiet space are all you need on your end.
I also have two backup teletherapy options in the rare event that a system experiences difficulties, so continuity of your session is protected.
A few things that help sessions go smoothly:
A private room where you won't be overheard
Headphones, if you share a space with others
A reliable internet connection
A device with a front-facing camera
Is Teletherapy Right for You?
Online therapy works especially well if you:
Live outside of Portland or find commuting to SE Portland difficult
Have a busy or unpredictable schedule
Travel frequently and want continuity of care
Feel more at ease opening up from your own home
Have health conditions that make it difficult to travel for appointments
Teletherapy is likely not the right fit if any of the following applies:
You are experiencing uncontrollable thoughts or urges to harm yourself or others
You are in an urgent crisis or emergency situation
You have been diagnosed with a severe mental illness requiring a higher level of care
You were required to undergo therapy by court order or other authority
You don't have access to a private space or reliable internet connection
Your goals would benefit most from in-person, embodied work (such as certain interpersonal or somatic goals)
If you're in crisis, please reach out to the Multnomah County Crisis Line at 800-716-9769, or call 911 in an emergency.
Serving Clients Across Oregon
As a licensed clinical psychologist in Oregon, I can work with clients anywhere in the state via teletherapy. While my physical office is in Portland, distance is no barrier to good therapeutic work. I currently see teletherapy clients in Portland, Eugene, Salem, Bend, Medford, Ashland, Corvallis, and beyond.
If you've been searching for a sex therapist, couples therapist, or individual psychologist in Oregon and haven't found the right fit locally, teletherapy may be exactly the access point you've been looking for.
From My Own Experience
I have practiced teletherapy with clients throughout my two decades of psychotherapy work, long before it became more widespread. Using teletherapy has helped established clients who manage busy travel schedules, and with ongoing peer supervision groups with colleagues across the world. Connecting meaningfully through a screen takes a little adjustment, and I'm practiced at helping clients settle into the format and get as much from it as they would in person.
If you're curious whether teletherapy would suit you, feel free to mention it when you reach out. We can talk through it before deciding what might work best for you.
