JULY openings! I believe good mental health is the key to happiness and balance in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, and finding a “good fit” can be even more challenging! I’ve been practicing for 15 years, but in the last decade, have shifted my main focus to adults and couples that are working to improve their mental health and communication.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy and compassion in an emotionally safe environment. I am passionate about helping people through the most difficult challenges life may have. I work with people to build their self-worth, ease emotional pain, and help regain a sense of enjoyment in their life as they once had. I envision helping people recognize their strengths, then build on their strengths, to help them to become more self-confident, happy and aware.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), my goal is to provide a warm, down-to-earth space where you can show up exactly as you are.

My professional background is a bit of a mosaic—I’ve spent meaningful time working in school counseling, outdoor education, and residential treatment settings. This mix has taught me that healing and growth happen best when we look at the whole picture, blending practical life strategies with a deep appreciation for experiential and unique paths to wellness.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Salem, MA

Searching for therapists in Salem starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People often look for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, life transitions, or trauma. As you compare Salem therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit what you want from care.

Salem is a smaller city, so nearby in-person appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your search across Massachusetts while still letting you choose a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Salem can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists in Salem, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
