Pamela graduated from OHSU and is board certified as a Family Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. She is licensed to work with all ages but prefers ages 17 and up. She worked as a Mental Health RN caring for patients at the Oregon State Hospital and, as a result, is experienced in dealing with individuals who have serious mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, bipolar, and major depressive disorder as well as borderline or other personality disorders. She also enjoys dealing with high functioning individuals who are motivated to seek coping skills for dealing with life’s issues. Her approach in assessment and treatment is holistic and she favors a variety of therapeutic methods, including BSP (Brief Spiritual Psychotherapy), meditation, and/or CBT (cognitive behavior therapy). She believes that the greatest curative forces for individuals with psychological challenges come from within by accessing the ability of the brain to change how it functions, recognizing that medicines can sometimes assist in this process. This belief is fostered by recent research that shows the brain to be an organ that is continually rebuilt by its experience and attitude. Pam’s major interests are anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and addictions.
