I’m a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with clients across the lifespan. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Arizona and have experience caring for individuals in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and higher-acuity mental health settings. My background includes treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, OCD, mood disorders, and substance use. I take a thoughtful, practical, and individualized approach to care, with the goal of helping clients feel understood, safe, supported, and comfortable being honest when feeling emotionally vulnerable.
With decades of experience as a nurse practitioner and over 15 years specializing in mental health, I am committed to understanding each patient's unique story and life experiences. I have a special interest in resiliency and thriving after trauma. I am dedicated to supporting you as you determine the path and pace that best suits your needs.
I grew up in rural PA working on my grandfather's potato farm, learning equine therapy benefits starting at age eight. I joined the food industry as a waitress and worked throughout my RN undergrad.
I began my nursing career after earning my BSN from IUP in 2015, stepping directly into the fast‐paced world of behavioral health care within emergency room settings. Those early years shaped my clinical foundation and deepened my commitment to supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I continued to grow, learning medicine, therapeutic communications skills, de-escalation techniques while working inpatient contracts at various facilities across PA, including child and adolescent units, adult and geriatric units, and correctional facility contracts.
Driven to expand efficient care through impact, I completed my MSN as a Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in November 2024. I initially provided inpatient hospital care, gaining valuable experiences in a new psychiatric treatment facility. As my career and family needs evolved, I discovered that remote psychiatric care offered the balance and flexibility that best supported both my professional goals and home life balance. My passion for farms, animals, and my large blended and busy family will help my clients see why I enjoy offering them a decade of behavioral health experience. With my advanced PMHNP training, I will deliver compassionate, accessible mental health support in a comfortable virtual setting.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Oregon
Finding psychiatrists in Oregon starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and training match your needs. Across Oregon, available care can vary between urban and rural areas, so a clear search helps you compare relevant options.
Your location, schedule, and care format can shape which psychiatrist is a practical fit. Someone in Portland, Eugene, or Bend may have different in-person options than someone searching from a smaller community, and virtual appointments can expand the number of psychiatrists you can consider. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, review availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what the bio says about approach, session structure, and communication style.
Psychiatric care in Oregon can be a significant expense 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 book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who take insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and find appointments with psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Oregon for your specific plan before booking.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
