Every case has a story. I make sure it's told accurately.
Forensic Evaluation. Reentry Consulting. Clinical Excellence.
Courts need evaluators they can trust. Attorneys need clinicians who understand both the law and the human being behind the case. Justice-involved individuals need support that sees the whole picture. Mental health professionals need a guide into forensic practice.
At Anchored in Essence, we serve all of them.
Through independent forensic mental health evaluations, court-mandated therapy, concierge case management, reentry consulting, and professional training I bring clinical precision and over a decade of direct practice to every case and every clinician we support.

Private Mediation
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where I serve as a neutral third party to help Oregon residents in conflict reach a mutually agreed resolution — without going to court. Based in Oregon, I don't decide who's right or wrong. Instead, I create a safe space for both sides to be heard, communicate openly, and work toward a solution that works for everyone involved. I offer mediation services across Oregon for a wide range of disputes, from family and workplace conflicts to community and civil matters. Mediation is typically faster, less expensive, and less adversarial than litigation — and the outcome stays in your hands, not a judge's. Whether you're in Portland, Eugene, Salem, or anywhere across the state, if you're ready to resolve your conflict on your own terms, I'm here to help.
