Virtual Therapy in Oregon
For anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and relationship patterns. Licensed in Oregon.
Modern, depth-oriented therapy for high-functioning Oregonians—available online from anywhere in the state.
Finding a specialized therapist in Oregon can be harder than it should be.
In Portland, demand consistently outpaces supply. In Eugene, Bend, Salem, Ashland, Medford, and the smaller towns across the state, the search narrows even further. Generalist therapists are easier to come by than depth-oriented therapists for high-functioning adults. Sophisticated, modern, specialty-focused therapy is rarer still.
If you've been searching for a therapist who works specifically with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and the patterns of high-functioning, internally exhausted adults—and you're in Oregon—this is the page that tells you how to work with me virtually.
Why Virtual Therapy Makes Sense for Oregon
Oregon's geography creates real access challenges.
The state has a few concentrated population centers—Portland, Eugene, Salem, Bend—and then a lot of beautiful, less-served space in between. Even in the Portland metro, finding a specialized therapist with availability is genuinely difficult. Outside of it, the options often don't match what you're actually looking for.
The research on virtual therapy is consistent and strong: for the vast majority of outpatient adult mental health work—anxiety, burnout, relationship issues, and most non-crisis presentations—virtual therapy produces clinical outcomes comparable to in-person therapy.
The format isn't a compromise. It's a way to reach the right therapist when geography would otherwise be the obstacle.
A few of the practical reasons Oregon clients choose virtual:
Limited local specialization — niche, modern therapists are rare outside of Portland
Long waitlists in Portland and Eugene for specialty practices
Geographic distance from the right clinician
Weather and seasonal factors that make consistent in-person attendance difficult in parts of the state
Privacy — particularly important in smaller communities where running into your therapist socially is a real consideration
Career flexibility — Oregon's tech, healthcare, education, and creative industries often involve schedules that make in-person therapy difficult
My virtual practice in Oregon serves the same kind of clients my Los Angeles practice does:
High-functioning anxious adults whose anxiety quietly runs their lives
Portland tech and creative professionals navigating high-demand careers and the burnout that often comes with them
Healthcare professionals and educators across the state running on chronic empty
Creatives, founders, and ambitious professionals in Eugene, Bend, Ashland, and beyond
Anxious overthinkers and perfectionists whose minds have become both their greatest asset and their exhaustion
High achievers whose drive has become inseparable from their dread
Couples navigating communication patterns, conflict cycles, or seasons of disconnection (both partners must reside in Oregon)
People recovering from burnout who don't want a repeat
The chronically overfunctioning—people who have been "the strong one" for so long they've forgotten who they are without the role
The common thread: smart, capable people whose external lives look like they're working—and who are ready for their internal lives to actually match.
Who I Work With in Oregon
The specialties I focus on:
Anxiety — including high-functioning anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, panic, and social anxiety
Burnout — active, recovering, or the patterns that keep producing it
Perfectionism and high-achiever patterns
Relationship anxiety and recurring relationship patterns
Communication and conflict patterns in couples
Emotional overfunctioning and the "strong one" role
Life transitions — career changes, breakups, becoming a parent, moving, loss
Self-worth and identity work — particularly when success hasn't translated to feeling okay
The disorienting experience of being successful and quietly unhappy
If your situation isn't on this list, that's fine. The work isn't issue-specific—it's pattern-specific. What matters is what's running underneath, not what category it lives in.
What I Help Clients Work On
How Virtual Sessions Actually Work
Virtual therapy with me is clinically identical to in-person therapy. The format is different. The work is the same.
The practical details:
Platform: Secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You'll receive a private link before each session.
Session length: 50 minutes
Frequency: Weekly (occasionally biweekly for what the work needs)
What you need: A device with a camera, a reliable internet connection, and a private space where you can speak freely without interruption
Location requirement: You must be physically located in Oregon at the time of each session (this is a legal licensing requirement, not a preference)
What a session feels like:
We see each other on video. We talk the way we'd talk in person. You can be at home, in your office, or in your car parked somewhere quiet—whatever works for you logistically, as long as it's private.
Most of my clients tell me they forget within a few sessions that it's virtual at all.
WHO VIRTUAL THERAPY IS AND ISN’T FOR
Who virtual therapy works well for—and who it doesn't
Virtual therapy is the right fit for most adult outpatient work. But I want to be honest about the edge cases.
Virtual therapy works well for:
Anxiety, burnout, and stress-related issues
Relationship work (individual or couples)
Identity, career, and life transition work
Trauma-informed therapy in non-acute phases
Maintenance and integration work
Most non-crisis adult presentations
Virtual therapy isn't the right fit for:
Acute psychiatric crises requiring in-person evaluation
Severe substance use disorders requiring medical detox
Severe, untreated eating disorders requiring medical monitoring
Active psychosis or unmanaged severe mental illness
Situations involving imminent safety concerns
If virtual isn't appropriate for what you're working with, I'll tell you—and help you find someone who is.
HOW LONG VIRTUAL THERAPY TAKES
How long this work usually takes
It depends on what you're working with.
Initial shifts in awareness often within the first month or two
Behavioral changes—where you start making different choices in real time—usually within the first three to six months
Deeper, structural change in the patterns underneath—often a year or more
Maintenance and integration continues beyond that, often at a less intensive cadence
Some clients come in for focused, time-limited work and move on. Others stay because the work keeps opening doors. Both are valid.
THE PRACTICAL DETAILS
Where I'm licensed: Oregon (along with California and Nevada)
Who I can see virtually: Anyone physically located in Oregon at the time of session
Session length: 50 minutes
Frequency: Weekly
Format: Private-pay, with superbills available for potential out-of-network insurance reimbursement
Fees: Discussed in initial inquiry
If private-pay therapy is new to you, the short version: it protects your confidentiality, gives both of us clinical autonomy, and lets the work be directed by what you actually need rather than what insurance dictates.
