About the Practice
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, software engineer, and consultant who bridges the gap between clinical heart and business excellence. With a foundation built on over 15 years of software engineering and a deep commitment to mental health care, I offer a rare synthesis of skills across three specialized domains:
Clinical Practice: Columbia United Therapy Institute (CUTI)
I provide compassionate, flexible counseling for individuals, couples, and families in Eugene, Springfield, and statewide across Oregon.
• Clinical Focus: I specialize in trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI).
• Grounded Experience: I bring over seven years of experience from high-needs environments, including residential drug and alcohol treatment and ongoing crisis work at the Lane County Jail.
• Therapeutic Approach: I utilize an eclectic blend of Somatic therapy, ACT, IFS, DBT, and CBT to help clients untangle the past and navigate modern challenges with steady compassion.
Clinical Innovation: CUTI Labs
As a developer, I build specialized digital tools designed to bridge the gap between clinical theory and personal nervous system regulation.
• Therapist-Built Tools: I design and code the exact tools I use in my own practice to make clinical work more effective.
• Privacy-First Ecosystem: I have created a suite of secure iOS and web applications, including panic.btn for acute relief, iLovable for daily affirmations, and Mutterly for IFS-inspired parts work.
Practice Consulting: CUTI Consulting
I help talented therapists and small business owners scale their private practices by solving the technical challenges that distract from client care.
• Systems & Automation: I build custom growth engines—managing scheduling, intake, and follow-ups—saving providers over 10 hours of manual administrative work every week.
• Digital Presence & SEO: I design professional, client-ready websites and implement high-performance local search strategies so practices remain visible to the clients who need them most.
• Large-Scale Infrastructure: My portfolio includes building ORCounselors.com, an SEO engine that connects thousands of Oregonians with specialized care across a network of over 1,200 active providers.
