I spent 18 years as a firefighter and EMT, showing up for people at their most vulnerable and helping heal their physical wounds. Now, I bring that same dedication to helping people heal their emotional wounds as a Licensed Professional Counselor with Love Focused Counseling. I've been in the mental health field since 2012 — from residential care to private practice — and I founded my practice on one belief: the most important relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself. When that relationship is strong and stable, you can show up fully in every other area of your life.
Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with extensive utilization review, case management, hospice, and health informatics. Skilled in conducting comprehensive assessments, prescribing and managing medications, and delivering evidence-based therapies.
I have worked several years in crisis in many roles. I have worked as a case manager, crisis screener, program therapist, and clinical supervisor.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience in mental health care, supporting individuals across inpatient and outpatient settings. Through my work, I have cared for clients with a wide range of needs, including chronic and severe mental health conditions, and I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate symptoms while trying to maintain daily life.
My care philosophy is centered on partnership. Treatment is not about taking over your care, but about working with you to explore your symptoms, goals, and values. Together, we develop a treatment plan that feels respectful, personalized, and empowering. If you have concerns or hesitations about medication, we will discuss all available options openly and thoughtfully, moving at a pace that feels right for you.
I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, and other mood and thought-related conditions. During the initial session, we focus on understanding your concerns, reviewing your history, and identifying practical steps toward improvement. Care may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, brief psychotherapy, education, and ongoing support.
I believe mental health care should feel supportive, clear, and collaborative—not rushed or overwhelming.
You do not have to face these challenges alone. My role is to help you reduce symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and regain balance so you can function at your best and move forward with confidence and stability.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Salem, OR
Searching for therapists in Salem starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for a Salem therapist for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit what you are looking for.
Salem is a smaller city, so your local options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond nearby offices while keeping care with a therapist licensed in Oregon. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in sessions.
Therapy in Salem can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you start. Headway helps you search for Salem, Oregon therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific therapist and location. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you are ready.
